Homes with Concrete Or Concrete Block Exterior Walls

House plans with concrete block exterior walls are designed with walls of poured concrete, concrete block, or ICF (insulated concrete forms). All of these concrete block home plans are ideal for areas that need to resist high winds. Other advantages of these walls include resistance to insect damage and fire, strength in hurricane conditions, and energy efficiency. And, believe it or not, concrete block exterior walls hold up well in earthquake prone regions as well.
