Solid concrete has an ultimate flexural strength greater than block, making it more resistant to cave-ins caused by lateral pressures of wind, earth and water.

Because of the increased density and joint-free construction, poured concrete walls offer twice the fire resistance of a hollow core block wall.

Walls are poured solid with window and door openings in place.  Lintels or beams are not needed, as the solid concrete wall is designed as a structural support system.

It's ultimate compressive strength is also greater, increasing its ability to support vertical building loads.  In addition, poured concrete walls get stronger as they age for up to five years, thus reducing customer call backs due to structural issues.

Homes will be ready for reinforcement inspection at the end of the first day.

Solid concrete walls are essentially impervious to the passage of water.  Solid concrete walls have fewer and smaller voids than block, thus less porosity of the wall.

It offers almost twice the density of a hollow core block wall and weighs approximately 50 lbs. more per cubic foot. This makes the wall more stable and drier.

• Reducing construction time saves the builder with bank loans and moves the product faster

• Less stucco (only one cost is necessary)

• Less waste of building products.  Everything ordered is used; no left over sand, no left over block to be moved and no damaged bags of mortar due to rain or jobsite handling.

• Homes are more energy efficient, higher fire ratings and more soundproof, thus making sales easier.
