Strangely one factor stand out very much but not mentioned - the use of timber and wood. If you used brick and cement, would it be slower. Anyway these quality kind of thinking need a regression exercise to make sure it is not just random thinking but real. Any stat ?
- thechao 5y agoSome of the largest houses my cadre of friends & family own are in Florida — they are built with cinderblock. Timber & wood are just different, not necessarily cheaper.
- hasbot 5y agoWhen thinking about building a shed recently I noticed the cheapest option was concrete block. Concrete block prices have only gone up a little as opposed to the massive increases for wood.
- bradknowles 5y agoSo-called "stick framing" is one of the fastest and cheapest ways to build the core of a house. The only thing I know of that's faster is pre-fab panels that are built off-site at a factory, and then just assembled on-site. But then that requires a crane to get them off the truck and into position. Large-format 3D printers that use a form of concrete as their "filament" is poised to be even faster, but also still much more expensive for now.
