Why This Company is Building Thousands of Concrete Homes

[@BrandonDoyleMN]

Concrete houses aren’t a new concept everywhere else in the world but the built in factory side is unique

[@sulyoki7]

The building method is not new either. Entire neighborhoods had been built in eastern European countries from prefabricated elements (made in "house factories") from the late 1960s.

[@NormanF62]

In Europe, concrete construction is the norm. Here in the USA and Canada, stick-built is the rule because we have huge forests and wood is environmentally renewable and lends itself to being built however you want it. Stick is increasingly getting more expensive and that’s where a company like Onyx enters the picture. Its revolutionized how homes are made and built and you get the land and the home, which is one less hassle for a lot of people. Thanks for the video! 😊

[@i6power30]

It's not that much of revolution if most of the world is already doing it

[@kgal1298]

True, but Florida where this company is located currently has so many issues where it never made sense to build with wood. Then in California we have a huge issue with termites and it's effecting climate change as well so I'm not even sure that wood is the most renewable for us right now not if everything that happens to it needs to be replaced every 20 years or so.

My grandparents house in the Dominican Republic is made of concrete and reinforced with railroad tracks. The house was built by my grandfather who was a home builder and also clad the exterior of the home with beautiful stone. The house is now 65yrs old and has never been damaged by a hurricane. The structure is solid and blows my 1950s US built home away.

I live in Texas and would TOTALLY buy a concrete home TODAY! My friend's dad (an engineer) build a MASSIVE home for him and his entire family in the Philippines because of the storms and hurricanes. A few years after it was complete a massive storm came through leaving only a few homes and his still standing. Because he built it so big he was able to help a lot of his friends and neighbors, and it stayed cool(ish) when the power was out.

[@williamspach2322]

I remember when a friend of mine bought a house back in 2014, and just six weeks later, it was damaged by a hurricane. That experience taught me that concrete homes are definitely more preferable for durability and safety. After seeing what happened, I decided to venture into stock investment instead of buying a house. Over the years, I've managed to make six figures through my investments, which has been really rewarding!

@@kkarllwt I'm glad you mentioned the Edison concrete houses-- there are a handful of them in NJ, where I'm from. They're fascinating, from an engineering perspective. Unlike the Onx homes, where pieces are made separately, and fit together on-site, the Edison homes were made by pouring concrete into pre-made wooden molds in the shape of a house on-site, making it essentially a single concrete form, once the molds were removed. I don't remember why the process never caught on (probably had to do with cost-effects); but I wonder if, with modern technological advancements, it could be done on a large scale, today?

I live in a NW suburb of Chicago. My ranch tract/spec home was built in 2003. The walls (all 9’ high) and trusses were all made in a factory. When assembling it took one day to put all the walls together and another day to assemble the trusses and sheeting for the roof. It took 1 1/2 days to put on conventional shingle roofing. It took one day to insulate and install drywall (all sheets were 4 1/2’ x 12’ long, ceilings and exterior walls were 5/8”, interior walls were 1/2”). This home was started in March and finished in May. It is 2240sqft with a full basement, 3 car garage, 3 full baths, vaulted ceiling in entry/family room and has 2 large masonry brick fireplaces. I’ve had nearly no problems with drywall cracking, etc. in 20 years. The home is very livable with virtually no problems. In Poland they build homes mostly of concrete. There is virtually no commercial wood. Years ago even the windows were made on site with wood that was cut down by the owner and dried outside for 2-3 years. Doors were made the same way. The last 20 years they have imported great windows, doors and even heating/water furnaces that are very efficient from Germany, etc. Many homes are built of clay, concrete, or concrete blocks, depending what is made locally. All floors are concrete, even interior walls are made of similar concrete/clay products. Most roofs are concrete or clay fired shingles on a wooden structure holding it in place.

[@svenweihusen57]

Americans build houses to life in for a generation. Europeans builds houses in European traditions which might last centuries. We have farm houses hundreds of years old. I was in America as a exchange student in the 1980s and they proudly showed me the oldest house in town 150 years old. The problem was: I am from a medium sized village and we had multiple farm houses twice that age and older. And that’s nothing special in Europe at all. Every other village around us could have said the same. Concrete or stone means that houses have a huge thermal mass which means they will stay warm or cool for a longer time than drywall houses one they reached a temperature. I never understood which “benefits” drywall construction, apart from price, has.

These houses are like the model T of housing. You can get any color you want, provided it's black. I'd never live in a half a million dollar house that was 6 feet away from my neighbors house. They appear to be 20 unit per acre builds. The lack of a diverse exterior appearance while it keeps pricing down, will put a lot of people off for purchase. The other issue is that the thin insulation in the concrete doesn't lend it's self to a northern climate. Industrial/office buildings use a process known as "Tilt Wall", where they pour a wall laying flat, then once cured, tilt them up. These types of buildings don't have the same type of HVAC loads as a home lived in 24/7. I'd imagine that the walls could be furred out inside, then spray foamed and electrical and plumbing run where required. All of the homes shown appear to be placed on a slab. That's fine for areas not subject to flooding. In a flood zone, these buildings are going to have to be built on stilts higher than the highest recording flood.

They mounted tiles, sinks, cupboards and everything in a factory on 3 feet wide steel plates, with all wires, conduits etc on the back. You could do just about any configuration you wanted with different sections of plates. So did you want bathtub, shower, two sinks etc it was just a matter of ordering different sections. It took 1 week to completely remove the old bathroom and one week to install the new bathroom. That was so quick, and except that the floor was raised a bit to make room for plumbing (it was a step down before and now the floor was level with the rest of the house), you would never notice that you just got a steel box installed in the middle of the house.

While building homes from concrete makes them more resistant to wind than sticks, the biggest advantage to concrete is that termites don't eat it. Building homes from sticks is the most moronic things humans do, unless you live in the extreme north on tundra. Building homes out of termite food in termite infested areas, and then when the house is hollowed out and about to collapse the solution to the problem is to tear down the house and build yet another one out of new termite food!

Interesting how they still use drywall on metal studs. Over here, they simply put on a very thick layer of stucco directly onto the concrete. All the pipework is fitted in the concrete itself, sometimes as part of the molding process or afterwards by cutting slots then drywalling over it.

[@designgauge]

I suspect they do it that way so you can access the plumbing and electrical if needed. Over the life of a home you usually have to redo the plumbing after thirty years. And electrical wiring if often changed to add new outlets and lighting, or to put audio cables in the walls etc. You can also pound in nails to hang pictures a lot easier in drywall.

Concrete houses are not as earth quake proof as wood framed houses. So in California (an earth quake area on the pacific rim) all houses are built with wood concrete. Also for concrete houses you may still need a wood frame layer either underneath floor or on top of the wall to allow cables, power wires, pipes and vent system to go through. In Australia, Japan, and Philippines most houses are built with wood frame but in Korea and Vietnam houses are built with concrete.

[@jamaicataekwondofederation5013]

The weak point is the concrete slab joints. Matalon did that here in Jamaica. They have plates embedded in the edges where a weld is done to join two slabs. This type of joint seriously stresses the concrete adjacent to the joiner plates. The normal concrete buildings here have a fair amount ofreinforcing steel embedded in the concrete especially in the columns where the horizontal ties can be as close as 3" at the tops and bottoms to prevent the concrete fracturing and falling out and the column failing. Steel in the floor slabs is continuous into the columns and then the concrete is cast unlike your system. A newer system here uses Styrofoam hollow blocks which have reinforcing steel bars placed inside then a premix concrete truck pumps concrete into the internal space so the house is a single monolithic casting. Very strong. We have up to category 5 hurricanes and are a severe earthquake zone.

Living in the south Miami-Dade area during hurricane Andrew, prefab concrete structures did not survive. Concrete block houses, which is the standard in South Florida survived for the most part. Wood truss roofs varied in survivability according to the wood deck used. In my neighborhood we had a mix of house age. The 1950's built homes had a 1x4 tongue and groove roofing deck, with a tar and gravel roof on my particular house. Those roofs had minimal damage and would have survived fine if not for a couple of 2x4 missiles coming in. Shingles and tile roofs did not survive, although the T&G roofing decks did survive. 1970's homes with 5/8" plywood decks didn't make it regardless of roofing material used.
