Concrete Homes

Why Build a Concrete Home?

Concrete is ideal for residential construction for numerous reasons. First and foremost, the durability of the materials makes them preferable when building hurricane-resistant homes in areas prone to natural disasters. The energy-efficiency of insulated concrete homes also makes them popular among homeowners looking to reduce their ecological footprint.

Thanks to its natural noise-reducing capabilities, reinforced concrete construction also makes a lot of sense for projects in dense urban environments. Bartley Corp’s experience with these building techniques means we’re the best partner for delivering long-term value.

Benefits of Insulated Concrete Home Construction

The features and benefits of above-grade, removable form, solid reinforced and insulated concrete construction for residential and commercial builders is as follows:

Built to Last

Take pride in building a product that can last up to 200+ years under the right conditions. Concrete housing is estimated to outlast most typical wood structures.

No Insects and Rot

Building material is not a source for mold and termites, which ensures longevity of the structure and prevents health concerns for residents.

Strength to Withstand Hurricanes and Tornados

Strength of concrete at the exterior is more durable and stronger than frames homes, making these structures ideal for construction in areas where natural disasters are common.

Fire-resistant

More resistant to fires than typical building products like wood, and Bartley Corp is the best choice for building fire-resistant concrete homes.

Rapid return on investment

Savings in maintenance, operating, heating / cooling costs compared to stick-built homes make concrete a cost-effective option.

Lower Insurance Rates

Building concrete homes significantly reduces potential property damage and loss during disasters like storms and fire. Insurance premiums during construction may also be lower.

Easy Maintenance

Concrete construction is low-maintenance and minimizes damages during construction. Easy clean-up and pre-move-in prep generates quicker closings and quicker collections. It also reduces builder warranty work after the sale.

Quiet

Mass of solid concrete walls blocks out external noise, enhancing the comfort of those inside the home.

Faster to Build

Helps shave numerous construction days off a typical home building timeframe.

Reduced Labor

Fewer subcontractors are needed in this type of construction lowering labor costs and increasing productivity with a smaller labor force.

Improved Utilization and Scheduling

Operations, scheduling and administration becomes more efficient in concrete construction with less labor and fewer subcontractors.

Quicker Turnaround

A home is “dried-in” when final concrete lift is complete and allows succeeding trade work to begin quicker so an average home can be completed substantially sooner.

Energy Efficient

Energy-efficient concrete homes benefit from the thermal mass effect when properly built with insulated wall and floors to retain heat when needed and prevent HVAC systems from running more than necessary. Airtight solid construction.

Minimizes Waste / Environmentally Friendly

Use of cast-in-place green concrete building methods drastically reduces construction material waste including lumber, sheetrock, wiring, and mechanical scraps reducing landfill disposal.
