concrete homes

Solid masonry dwellings

Concrete homes are houses built primarily from concrete rather than traditional wood framing.

The term covers various construction methods—poured concrete, concrete block, and insulated concrete forms (ICFs).

Concrete homes are marketed for durability, energy efficiency, and resistance to fire, rot, and severe weather: Concrete homes are popular in hurricane-prone regions.
