This video shows the construction method used by Precast Concrete Homes. It demonstrates the efficiency of building with precast concrete panels and how a typical 4 bedroom home can be completed in 8 weeks. Compared to brick veneer this is up to 16 weeks faster meaning owners get into their homes faster and builders can complete more projects each year.
The concrete walls provides better thermal and acoustic insulation also while being extremely strong. They are extremely resistant to cyclones, floods, earthquakes and ground movements. They are a great choice for bushfire prone areas as they exceed the Australian Bushfire Standard (AS3959) for the highest “Flame Zone” category.

We used to frame 2500 sq foot homes, 3 guys, one a week. By week two they looked ready to move in. Two months with all those workers... that is a long time.
Obviously they were not brick veneer.
depends the quality the companys workers have top offer
Frame, though.
That's a long time with a crew that big. My uncle used to build beautiful custom built homes with cement blocks in less time with a small crew & he's very meticulous. They're still standing after being built 45 yrs ago.
It’s called original architect work. Meant to last through all seasons. Wish I could get a small crew to build a small concrete home on west coast Washington. 800 sq ft- and done.
i appreciate for your technology i hope its faster way of construction .
The key to building fast is not precast, it's overlapping trades and concurrent sequencing. Project home builders pour a slab and then wait 4 weeks to start on the frame then put the roof on 2 weeks after the frame is complete then wait another 4 weeks to start the brick veneer. They use 1 site manager for 30 houses to save on overheads hence the slow build times.
What are you talking about? Nobody waits 4 weeks after slab is poured. 7 days is more than enough, but usually 3 days max and crew of 4 carpenters would be done with this house within a week.
Also don’t you have to pour footing for precast and wait for concrete to cure?
Everyone does because they’re slow. That’s why it takes them 6 months to a year to build a house
No wonder this house was built in 8 weeks, so many people and look at what speed they all work!
CC's World AUSTRALIA lol
😂😂😂👍
Doesn't go nearly far enough. The walls should come preinsulated and nailers cast in. In addition , I would have external nailers for external finishes (at least as an option.) I would really do this as precast ICF, which would make the above pretty easy.
They should also have a precast concrete roofing system, not lightweight trusses and standard roof sheathing and shingling. If the idea is to make a storm, fire, or generally disaster proof house, the roof is hugely important. And the roof shown isn't going to stand up to much.
Michael Wolffs I don’t think there’s code for a concrete roof, at least for civilian living. The way it was built is fine, and it’s flexible
Why external nailers, people like the look of concrete , you ever heard of Architectural Concrete , besides , my home in Europe has styrofoam mesh wrap and stucco , don't even talk about insulation , it's not even a competition. A small stove heats the whole house . You know how I know it works ? Takes 3 days till it reaches temperature , yeah 3 days , it's like a coffee thermos .
This is a beautiful house. I wish you could get this kind of house in the US.
You can get better and stronger in the USA.
Robert Coates I know right. Tired of seeing house building with wood popsicle sticks. This is a real house!
All the personality of an aircraft hanger.
Prefab concrete has been done in the U.S. for a century.
@@hazelwood55 That's what interior decorators are for, guy.
This would be good in California, with all its🔥
We did an exposed basement and finished it. You can do this in NY too.
I know Australia doesn't have very many earthquakes. Is this type of construction better than stick built houses in areas prone to earthquakes or will the house pancake if a earthquake hits?
I worked on that house and the one next door on the left hand side double story,we did the precast panel walls
Does this company still exist
@@coleyperrett1616 last I heard they were doing a few houses around manly and near Sunderland,they were using Austral precast panels so maybe give them a ring they are in Weatherill park
@@NS-mz8gq thank you
I work at a concrete company and was quoted $105.00 a yard for the crete. That was a discount price. So by figuring the LxWxH of each wall, the floor etc.......
Concrete not cheap to build with but will last a hell of a lot longer.
Why are the houses like 8" away from one another?
Because the waste of space of suburbia is too stupid to maintain in the future.
Its true, these close packed suburbia "homes" is ultimately very bad for the environment. We have to find a way to coexist with nature or we will fail.
I don't know why more home aren't built like this, can someone enlighten me? Why is precast SO expensive?!
The first 45s was interesting, the rest was just a normal build.
Why didn't you show the relevant differences between this and brick veneer. For example roof anchoring, joint sealing, internal wall fixing, external finishes.
You could certainly add a brick veneer if you wanted. The advantage is the speed and permanence. Also, only the exterior walls are load bearing. The interior design is totally flexible.
Precasted home is cheaper than the concreted blocks material home but can’t really do anything much to the house after it’s being built/planned like adding built in closets or room divider. The purpose of precast is to make the building process faster and save on labor/tools costs for mass producing. I know this because I’ve bought one myself. I can’t tell the price because it is not in the US.
i could precast dome structures with aircrete and have them ready for a site with a 2 hour build time. 6 hour concrete and reinforcement seal. prefab concrete canvas underlayment fabric ends flooring pours and waits too. this whole process is antiquated
That's cool. What's the biggest dome you worked on?
How come nobody ever talks about the cost??
That's what everyone really wants to know, how much???
I'm I going to have enough money left to lure a hot blonde like the one on the video??
THEY DON'T WANT U TO KNOW THE COST. THEY WANT TO FUCK YOU AT THE END.
@@gnikmi don't worry about the prices, just grab your ankles and we can wrap things up
they are at least double the cost
@@lvl3472 and the difference goes to the Capitalist who doesn't do any of the work
If that is not a SCAM of a system (same as private central banking), I don't know what is
She will steal the house through marriage or cohabitation. Pro tip: don’t get married on paper and live in a cohabitation free state like Arizona, etc. cheers.
Next video let us know about houses that survived major hurricanes. That's an obvious question going through anyone's mind watching this. Let's see, 8 weeks to build and less than an hour to crumble when Hurricane Big Bad Wolf shows up and blows the house down.
nice very good
Video editing should have captured areas where it differs from a standard stick house as for instance, wiring, plumbing, insulation, etc. The lapsed time pace was a bit too fast too...
The more expensive option is pre- cast obviously. There are companies that do it with pour and appropriate 3 layer self insulation. Less expensive with fewer issues.
I like the idea of using a similar casting material, but deploying it with a 3D printer. Apparently some videos on here show a house being printed in one day. Pretty awesome.
What’s the cost per sq ft on this type of construction?
All you are worred about is the cost per sq ft well those days are coming to an end real fast.
California needs this
Needs to be more rounded to deflect hurricane winds. Then it would be a practical choice in Florida.
Neat! Better than a stick home. But FAR more complex and labor intensive than a much stronger monolithic dome house.
True, but ever notice people that live in domes are a bit off? I don't wanna be one of those. ;-)
@@jagboy69 a bit off how??because they tend to live unconventionally? Stay in your delusion that's built by the government.
@@jagboy69😂
I would use hemp crete
Why not pre cast the roof like the walls?
Being concrete, does it get to 450 degrees F in the Summer?
No, its actually cooler
That was quick - once the house went up you trapped a wild, hot woman that wandered in from the street in no time
Who left the front door open and was robbed minutes later.
That let in a snake while she was touring the house...
Shilly Storm lol. Good one.
Jim Robinson Hi Approximately how Much Supplies for Concrete home, If I Use Cheap Windows, We may Get Recycled parts,But Most Important, Until We get Power,If I'm getting land farway, We can get Generator For Extra cold Nite. can You Durcrv With just Wood Stove, Add extra Insulation? How Did You get Water, We can't Dril Well 6 months, I heard About Getting water Use Rain bucket what's Cheapest Way do plumbing electrical. we Wil only have Limited power, Use Genarator
They needed her so she could brush her hand along everything.
what about freeze and thaw? you've seen old sidewalks. what protects this house?
also, if a tornado hits it, does it colapse and crush you?
It’s Australia. There’s no freeze and thaw or tornado issues in here.
Durable, I wonder if it surpasses the half a million!!! If it does, I'll stick to adobe, it's made out of dirt...that means it's free!!!
well...when wife visits her family... it's time 2 build,by the time she's back "omg! where I'm l? this is my land, but where the heck is my house!!!?".
Very nice💜💜💜
please make more videos of your product and or if you have more designs please
I saw a tv series where the crew came in, tore down a house and built a brand new one, ready to move in - 7 days
Hot blonde walks in...walks over to the stove....she asks "What is this thing?"
she don't need a stove to make a sammich
Hot blonds only concern is how much she can sell her goldmine for!
She's knows exactly what the bed is for though.
She asks "what's is this thing, it's So big, So hard, So sleek" you're done
@@AW-pl3ou only a simp would cave like that.
*Bathroom not included.
That's amazing. What a beautiful home built in such a sort time.
So what's holding up the walls
Very interested.
Seeing that we can build with concrete and steel, why are we still building with wood in places like Florida, along the Gulf coast and tornado prone areas?
because wood, OSB and gyproc are the cheapest ass materials from which to have the biggest markup.
Yes indeed.
Zero information on cost. Another waste of time.
Yeah. Also, it looks like all of this work should have been done in 2 weeks top, not 8.
It is interesting to see your comment because that is exactly the one thing I wanted to know as well. Is it 20% less expensive? 35% more expensive than traditional methods of building? The fact they fail to mention any cost savings and only present it's speed of building makes me think it is not cheaper, just faster. I live in a concrete block home in Florida and I think something like this would be an excellent alternative because the sandy soil will often settle and crack the blocks after 10-20 years in some areas. This allows pests like termites into the house and up to the rafters for them to cause their damage.
I don't see my some type of fiberglass fiber/polymer-concrete hybrid precast wall system couldn't be a good choice as well.
If only there was a way to mitigate the videos complete lack of liability to offer prices by inquiring about that on the companies website linked above.
Their website doesn’t have any cost estimates either. BTW they’re in Australia.
@@ClinttheGreat rofl. Good to know
How much per square foot and what about tornados since these pieces seems to be bolted together instead of poured concrete ?
Costs differ on location, local code and requirement, house plans submitted, and the options one chooses. Also remember, for those inquiring, this is an Australian company. And the most obvious reason, the video was posted over four years ago. Costs change a lot month to month, year to year. What was relevant yesterday, is not relevant today.
Those whom are serious about such a home will make contact via the website. The kit, based on the home plans you submit for manufacturing, is for the concrete shell only. Then you or your project manager must hire all trades and purchase all materials to fit the home out.
These specific homes were built as a housing development by a builder. Meaning they have a 20 to 30% premium added for builder profit. Again, over four years ago.
So as you can see, your question , as well as all others bitching about the same thing, is as irrelevant as posting pricing information.
Cheers!
this looks huge what was the final cost ? and is there a website? my house was destroyed by yolonda and im looking to replace it
I have framed houses and gone from a D-8 dozer in a blackberry bramble to a 2200 sq ft house with a moving van in front of it (on the paved driveway) in 29 days, so 8 weeks is not really that impressive.
fooman2108 they don't have Mexicans in Australia.
Tata is a car also but it disintegrates after 50k miles . How much maintenance you need to put In a lumber house ? Decks , siding , roof , gutters , Windows , bathrooms , leaks energy everywhere . In Europe , I build my house , brick and concrete , maintenance for 20 years , nothing . Here , we have to take second mortgages to constantly do shit to them , scam .
@@TheSancho323 well they need more of us then.
Wow!
@@TheSancho323 Excellent point.
I've always wanted to watch this video I finally found it
8 weeks with all those hands on site was pretty slow going.
Solid core, no cavity external walls soak up the heat and reflect it internally which makes the rooms very hot at night.
Eagle Aurum Wealth Club no actually it's not long at all cause they gotta clear the land order building materials and put it up with machines and bare hands 2 months is nothing
Reflect it internally? No. Not really.
how much they go good on a private island that may endure hurrican's solid concrete goes well in the caribbean
You have many builders in the Caribbean and Florida to choose from, who are familiar with hurricane codes.
looks fast and efficient
Can you make the multiple stories or with 14 ft ceilings?
Both are possible.
The cost depends upon how big the home is concrete home does not do well in harsh winter weather more of a southern thing depending upon how big it is 2007 the average cost was 350,000. Check the Internet
How much does it roughly cost about to build that project?
Same question I have...
Why theres'nt any column in this type of building ?
I wish I could find a contractor who does this in the states.
I think the green on the walls out the front should be a more dull shade
Strongest and cheapest is a best block home, as you can shape it the way you please and it eliminates heaps of trades if you keep the block finish
Very cool video!
Very Nice 👍
I like the house inspector at the end in those high heels, she should come over and inspect my house sometime.
Tommy.Philip you wish !!!!!
Thought it'd take shorter time. But I always thought that would be the way to build. Insulate on the inside or outside. Bridge
Decking for ceilings. think of the space ya create.
Rubberized roofing, never leak👍
Is this kind of house built available in south africa?
Can these be built on a foundation rather than a slab?
cement roof would be nice. only part of the house that blows off in hurricane country is the roof. then the house is soaked. this is perfect, except no cement roof. 300 k pound cement roof dont blow off, 15k pounds of wood roof do.
doe it has a foundation? i think it might crash? what if there is just a mild earthquake?
why no cement roof and how much with or without. price is key and nothing about that
Only a brief scene showing ceiling insulation batts and no scene of wall insulation.
Why not precast ceiling and roof and just lay tiles
That would be my preference.
Appreciate the technology. But what about its cost for 4bhk with puja room.
Do you guys use compound of 20 or bucket of mud for dry wall
Would it be nicer if you could precastr not only the outer walls but the inner walls as well? Or there's a reason you always use plasterboards for inner walls
I agree and ditch the deck as well. No termites, less maintenance.
Lenny Carter the decking is treated, itd keep termites away
You don't need concrete for inner walls, since they're not load bearing and don't have to fight off the weather. Besides you can decorate with drywall, rather than having to drill holes in the wall every time you want to hang a picture.
Decks can also be made with a composite material that doesn't rot like wood.
Cost. Personally, I HATE drywall and don't like stud walls of any kind. But a solid concrete, non-load-bearing, interior wall is pricey compared to stud and drywall. You can compromise and do 4" thick interior walls, I suppose.
As far as hanging pictures, I'd rather drill holes that deal with Chinese drywall fun.
Would that concrete home be tornado-proof?! Might be a great solution for Oklahoma, Kansas, and anywhere with massive twisters!
Wasn't there a Walmart built like this that collapsed when a tornado struck it, killing some people? The walls hold the roof up and the roof holds the walls up so if one of those is taken out the other collapses too.
What was the point of the cement wall if everything else is same as wooden house?
For all of those who continue to bitch about pricing and everything else other than the precast concrete:

Shocked that there are no rain gutters and downspouts which protect the foundation.
I notice that building houses like this are way faster.. but is it strong and durabable???
The ‘concrete’ was the easy part. Then everything else. Large single story home on a good size lot. Guessing you’re not really saving any $$$. The new 3D printed concrete homes coming down the line will disrupt this and bring the cost down. They’re already printing nearly 1,000sqft homes for $4,000.00
Hey Ricky,
It's nice to see that you're excited about 3D technology. I(not alone) am starting up a 3D construction company. Do you think there more people interested in having their houses printed in your community?
I'd love to love to keep in touch!
Alexandre Salmi I’m out in NW Phoenix area. Most of our land is already bought up by Track homes and empty custom lots are $$$$. I dig the prefab 3D printing technique - IF - between cost of land and the ‘finished home’ are done at a savings to the typical home building fiasco. At 57 I‘m not in the market unless I can cut cost since buying new and bigger at this point isn’t in the cards for me.
@@rickstokes2239 Building bigger and better for less is our goal! Also in a cleaner and smarter way. Not to mention the resilience of materials. But land price it's indeed something that can affect your costs a lot. But thanks for your insights! Always nice to keep our eyes on where the opportunities are.
@@AlexadreSalmi I am ....Would like to Print one now.
But they lied. 3d homes are pricey.
How are the walls pinned down?
What R value do the wall and the roof have?
with an army like that 8 weeks is way too long
You are correct.
I don't see that many people except when the concrete slabs are being poured.
you're talking about subcontractors now...subcontractors.
weRoneself
can any one please till me how much this house is cost's ? i realy wanna know ???
I want one.
What about cost twice in comparison to cinder block homes ?
WOOD ROOF?
They say a typical 2,500 square foot, two-story home and lot (sale price of $180,000)
well there is very less precast whcih is primarily used ony for the exterior walls. This is not the most efficient way of building a precast concrete home....but the house looks nice because of the high end finishes.
Thank you for your comment, you maybe correct on "its not the most efficient way....." But then this depends on how much money you have to spend. This is about a system that can consistently & expediently construct a quality single storey home, weather proof in 5 days, locked up in 10 days & completed in 8 weeks.
The fully engineered, factory manufactured precast walls provide exception resistance to external forces and have high thermal & acoustic mass properties.
It is about a build that is cheaper than a brick &/or brick veneer home of the same size & quality, given the increasing price to lay bricks & the shortage of bricklayers. That is why it is the intelligent alternate to brick veneer.
The Precast Concrete Homes team
What joints, if any, are used for the precast wall panels?
A bunch of Caulk!
Why would we reply , you have know idea.
That house does not have a foundation, it is all about the foundation. If a house does not have a foundation, it will sink or get washed away by the flood waters.
Pardon my lack of knowledge but would this method qualify with Canadian building standards for residential purposes? Or this method for warm dry climates only?
Very Interesting but I would like to know how much it cost ?? Compared to a conventional site built home how much $$ per square feet in USA ??
And the cost, including the permitting process, compared to a traditional "stick built" structure of similar design and size?
The same.
@AA It will vary greatly, for several reasons. One being the cost of concrete fluctuates, like everything else.
nice homes
Still timber main materials. You called this concrete house?
They build this on ur land and do they build in south carolina and wht will be extra cost of doing so
This is what America should build their homes with not sticks
the cost of that lift is going to get you
Whenever you want to build in Florida USA I have 20 vacant lots that need homes
There are concrete contractors all over FL.
How much will it costs to build a house on 1200sft plot
This would be super viable in the U.S. We need to change our "traditional' ways of doing things....
Why?
Do you guys build these houses in the USA 🇺🇸
( Sacramento California???)
Yes, starting at $200,000 without land. Starting at $2,000,000 with a small lot, not including California or Sacramento taxes and permits. Electrical blackouts included with no extra cost.
Victor Chavez,this home is built in Australia somewhere,but where I'm from Perth,Western Australia our homes are pretty much all double brick construction because our soil is pretty much all sand so can be compacted very hard to support foundations and weight,we precast concrete commercial buildings,and apartment buildings,we do not have access to a huge amount of trees like you guys do with Douglass fir, we have extremely little earth quakes,very,very rare,the last time I saw our ceiling lights move was when I was 14,and now I'm 55,but this system would not be cheap,I think you guys in the States could frame three or four houses of approx. same size for the price of something like this method.
this must be in a warm climate area if they are no issue with expansion and contraction of walls/ foundation.
Most parts of australia dont have problems with freeze / thaw like USA and Canada
how much?
Well never know.
I want mine circular with three floors equiped with water 2 tanks off the grid. Can u deliver?
