Construction Speed

                            Forms are easily assembled and contain 6 building steps in 1. Can proceed in various weather conditions.

                        

Involves more steps like cutting, framing, and additional insulation, which can slow down the building process.

Disaster Resiliency

Highly resistant to floods, fires, hurricanes and earthquakes.

Prone to fire, termites and water damage. Not resilient against hurricanes, floods and earthquakes.

Structural Strength

Reinforced concrete core provides exceptional strength and durability.

At risk of deterioration from pests and moisture.

Thermal Efficiency

High R-values providing superb insulation and energy savings.

Leads to thermal bridging and gaps in insulation.

                            Forms are easily assembled and contain 6 building steps in 1. Can proceed in various weather conditions.

                        

Labor-intensive process of stacking heavy blocks and additional reinforcements and insulated increases overall build time.

Disaster Resiliency

Highly resistant to floods, fires, hurricanes and earthquakes.

Resilient to fire and can withstand severe weather conditions but vulnerable to seismic movements without proper reinforcement.

Structural Strength

Reinforced concrete core provides exceptional strength and durability.

Strong and durable when properly reinforced.

Thermal Efficiency

High R-values providing superb insulation and energy savings.

Needs to be enhanced with added insulation systems.

                            Forms are easily assembled and contain 6 building steps in 1. Can proceed in various weather conditions.

                        

Precast panels enable quick on-site assembly, but weather can cause delays. Insulating panels adds extra steps and slows the process.

Disaster Resiliency

Highly resistant to floods, fires, hurricanes and earthquakes.

Robust concrete panels make it fire, flood, and wind resistant. Additional design is needed for earthquake resilience.

Structural Strength

Reinforced concrete core provides exceptional strength and durability.

Thick concrete panels provide significant strength.

Thermal Efficiency

High R-values providing superb insulation and energy savings.

Generally, requires additional insulation measures.

ICF

Steel

Disaster Resiliency

Highly resistant to floods, fires, hurricanes and earthquakes.

Resistant to earthquakes and strong winds and loses strength when exposed to high temperatures.

Structural Strength

Reinforced concrete core provides exceptional strength and durability.

High strength-to-weight ratio.

Thermal Efficiency

High R-values providing superb insulation and energy savings.

Conducts heat, requiring significant insulation to improve.

Construction Speed

                            Forms are easily assembled and contain 6 building steps in 1. Can proceed in various weather conditions.

                        

Prefabrication speeds up construction but may need specialized labor. Complex insulation for modern energy codes can extend construction time.
