Florida normally has concrete block. Newer construction has that covered in insulation and then stucco, which is more concrete.
Note that Florida houses are inexpensive. They are insulated pretty well, obviously for the opposite reason.
The nicer houses in Florida are solid poured concrete. Considering the expense of property in Massachusetts, the extra expense of poured concrete would be a smaller portion of the total cost. You might as well do it. You're already paying quite a bit for the land; why build a shack?
- jhallenworld 10y agoYou just don't understand how much contractors make near Boston. But what you say is true for new housing for sure. The style I see around here is http://www.bostonherald.com/photos/hot_property_603_concord_avenue_in_cambridge http://www.bostonherald.com/photos/hot_property_603_concord_... This apartment was constructed elsewhere, assembled on site. You could see whole units (I remember seeing the kitchen microwave) dangling from construction cranes.
