Why This Company is Building Thousands of Concrete Homes 

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.

No, not really. We have had that in Europe for like 20+ years

right we built one one like this almost 20 years ago in thailand. no crap stick houses out here

​​​​@@sulyoki7i live in one of "those" concrete apartments that was made in the 60s in sweden they do look really boring tho and are a bit hated here but i cant be mad at the built quality of the buildings 😅 And today i believe 10 percent of the people in sweden live in those concrete "blocks" but they are not "sexy" looking 😅

coming from the Caribbean concert is always the preference

Congratulations you are really doing well at your age im 45 and my finance are in rally in mess right now and great tip will really go along way in shaping my life im open for idea

Sorry for late response I was able to do this because I understand four pricinciples of financial planning success think long term with goals and investing, spend less than you earn maintain liquidity (an emergency savings) minimize the use of debt and with the help of financial advisor Ava Brenda Harry I made over $120k in crypto

Money invested is far better than money saved, when you invest it gives you an opportunity to increase your financial worth

I know this lady just mentioned here . She's really good with and on her job. She's helped a couple of families and individuals' finances

YES!!! That's exactly her name( Ava Brenda Harry) so many people have recommended highly about her I'm huge beneficiary of her platform from Brisbane Australia 🇦🇺

Cost of home is trivial, cost of land/everything else is what ruins everything

If you can't afford $500k, then dont give birth to 4 children.

Ge t some land.....you allow to build your own house. Can't sale it for sometime

No more pesky termite problems.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Bet you would love it in concrete prison. 😂

This is why houses in germany and many european countries are as good as they were 100 years ago

Was yours a Thomas Edison concrete house?

You would think lots of wealthy people would build more of these, but strangely enough they don't. This is common throughout Europe and the Middle East.

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

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.

A lot of the wood comes from Europe....

no one cares about europe lol

Everything, even concrete, effects the environment. It does account for 5-7% of greenhouse gases. AND to make concrete you must use fossil fuel! 500,00 is a lot of money for a prefab house!

Can I build one in Dallas tx

Hey Sergio can I ask you some questions?

Sure

I’m in San Antonio looking to build do you have information for this area

Hi @Sergio-gm4gv - so did you have this home built? Or you are living in a development that only has ONX homes? This seem really interesting, but I have some land in North FL I would want to build on. Just wondering if they do "on demand" building of the homes, or only in subdivisions that only have ONX homes. Thanks!!

Wow. Efficient!

im gonna come build a house there

Walai tena

You have never walked outside in the morning to minus 25 F temps.Minus 32 C.

@@kkarllwt It's a real blessing to be honest....more grace to all of you

thats cheap by cali standards

@@thepotatoofheaven also kinda cheap by Dutch standards.

@@thepotatoofheavenbut if im not mistaken thats due to land prices in California (i am not American but so i heard). This 500k is too much, especially since you havent factored in the land price yet.

@@Dee-yj1im that's not just California. It's Florida as well. You purchase the land you want the home built on , and then you purchase the home. So , in the end , that home could cost $570,000 or so. If it's already in an existing neighborhood, then you just buy the house.

Location, location, location

Tell me about it. My grandfather was a builder and built his home in the Dominican Republic from concrete reinforced with railroad tracks. He clad the exterior with beautiful white stone. The home is now 65yrs old and has never been damaged by a hurricane or earthquake. The structure is solid and will last generations. My home in the US will never compare to it.

I was stationed in Okinawa when a typhoon came through. I discovered roof corrugated steel blowing everywhere, tires rolling down streets a few times. Finally, the idea of expanding ones wealth was to build a concrete, sturdy, home and sell the flat space atop it to someone else willing to build. I saw four story homes like this. (land is at a vast premium there)

Was looking for this comment! I lived in Okinawa for seven years and weathered quite a few typhoons, good times lots of concrete!

You are so right! Our homeowners especially like the concrete staircases. No creeks :)

So many apt buildings in the USA just wooden stick building for the upper floors and you can just hear everything because they don't insulate it with anything except the basic fiberglass.

@@james8208 no wonder people always say they don't wanna live in an apartment building cause it's noisy and you can hear your neighbors

@@onxhomes Well, I wish you had built the concrete condo I'm living in, here in Portugal. I can literally hear the people using the bathroom upstairs. Every foot step and chair slide. It's unbearable and this is an expensive building. Anytime someone hangs a picture, out comes the impact drill and everyone in the whole building hears it...

@@james8208 and on top of that, you gotta pay at least 180k and for what?

Look at tornado alley. Clearly not 😂

:) Well we did.

The three piglets never had to face a real estate agent or a remodeler crew.

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! Yes, you guessed correctly that I live in a house made of termite food in a high termite area.

You want to say that the big bad wind wolf can't blow down piglets' houses? I wonder what took so long for the Americans to learn🤣

@@mrmrmrcaf7801 Americans Americans Americans Americans says the guy who shares concrete walls with 5 families around him in his little apartment where he has no personal land.

Thanks Ellen. Most of our team is global and we are bringing the best minds from across the world to build better!

@@onxhomes I wish I could rebuild my walls of my house like you are doing ! Don’t get me wrong I love my house , just not my walls !

Except they're using crap concrete construction now instead. Steel frames are red iron, not tin-can sheet metal. And insulated panels actually have a half-foot of insulation between wythes that on the structural side are at least 8 inches thick.

You can go back at any time

And Phoenix and Tucson.

And TN. If I build a home in east TN it WILL be concrete & steel and half underground...

I'm sure different paint colors, decorations, main door and garage door and window frame models would bring enough variety while keeping costs down

Agreed. It would be nice if there was more variety in the neighborhood of how the houses looked.

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. Also noticed that the word Master bedroom or Master bath" were used.

This is not new amazing American idea... whole cities been build like this thought the 70-80 and 90 ties in eastern Europe. America discovers comi blocks... lol... yes it is very scalable, the whole cities for 20-40 thousand people were build at once.

@@AuroraMeditation We also built commie blocks in the 60s and 70s. They're called projects. Look up things like Robert Taylor homes.

do you handle these type of homes in California?

@@creativefootballcoach538 yes this escrow company MyCaliforniaEscrow handles any type of single family homes purchase in Cali.

@@creativefootballcoach538 Yes we do!

which city is this ?

What is a “starter home”. it’s 2024 bro, everything is expensive. You will need to “start” in an expensive house

@@rafaelpaun1907 Like a 2 bedroom, 1200 sq ft. Like what they used to build in the 60’s and 70’s.

Probably not enough profit margin

500k these days is just a bit above average nationally

Not enough profit in starter homes.

We have huge forests and the Europeans who came here weren’t used to that back home and took advantage of it.

@@NormanF62 Yeah but majority of houses are made of drywalls not only wood.

Even most of the multi-million dollar homes in the US are primarily or exclusively wood framed. Most of the recently built mega mansions in this country are built exactly the same way as common tract homes and apartment developments. Very, very few homes at any price point have any structural concrete, brick, metal, or stone at all.

We hope to make a difference by ensuring that everyone has a home with solid walls.

​@@ryannatividad3137That's why you can watch even the mega mansions burning down to nothing in a short time in case of wildfires, for ex.

they are practically on top of each other damn.

In The Netherlands concrete is used as the skeleton of the house. For finishing and insulation purposes the exterior is usually masonry.

Concrete homes can be pretty but it leaves huge environmental footprint, especially carbon emissions

Pretty? Was that his priority as home builder? You will hate my comment but he didn’t know how to build houses, reinforced by his saying you can only do so much with it. And this became the norm in America, a nation that doesn’t know how to build homes….until now with this new approach. We have yet to see what happens.

Drywall makes any material look good, my country uses bricks covered with drywall, looks like any concrete or wood home of other countries, just feels and insulates differently (better than wood, worse than concrete but cheaper)

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.

Having an investment advisor is the best way to go about the stock market right now. I was going solo, but it wasn't working. I've been in touch with an advisor for a while now, and just last year, I made over 80% capital growth minus dividends.

Sounds interesting. I was planning to invest some few £ in some coins, stack them up and leave them for a few years, but seeing this changed my mindset. Thank you very much

Their site says they use Hempitecture which is company that makes plant-based insulation.

@Chutney1luv the West coast is prone to Earthquakes and earthquakes routinely kill thousands of people at a time. Turkey just had one that killed 53,000. Even China had one in December that killed 149 mostly from their non-wood homes collapsing on them. Incredibly (even though the US has high seismic regions) in the last 100 years there was only 1 quake incident where more than 100 people were killed (it was up in Alaska BTW) and the most likely reason we didn't have other huge tragedies (which are common throughout the world) in the lower 48 is because of wooden homes instead of heavy walled homes.

People dont understand that the prices of things are never going back down. This inflation is deeper than we think. Those buying groceries are well aware that the real inflation is much over 10%. The increments dont match our income, yet certain investors still earn over $365,000 in stocks and assets. Wish I could accomplish that.

Some persons think inves'tin is all about buying stocks; I think going into the stock market without a good experience is a big risk, that's why I'm lucky to have seen someone like mr Brian.

We work with our partners at Hotwire and have tested these homes. You will love the wifi.

We understand. Onx Homes is a company that develops new home communities. The price of our homes includes the cost of the land and community development. It is comparable to the cost of newly built homes in the locations where we build. Onx homeowners get more value for their homes because of lower insurance, energy, and lifetime maintenance costs.

@@onxhomesAre you expanding to other states?

Are the interior walls also masonry? I love how other countries do such amazing construction with concrete and masonry. It's miles better than wood construction McMansions.

@@iantotheh yes we do masonry, some people use clay brick and some people use concrete brick

Yet in Indonesia, almost all people live in what we would consider extreme poverty! How curious!

@@1lapmagic yes same as how curious I am about amount of homeless people in the US and other great countries

We love your feedback and are bringing natural elements like marble and wood finishes and tall glass windows for warmth and sunshine.

Really?😅😅😅😅😅

We are coming with these homes to Cali soon.

In Germany concrete houses !

Concrete as a material performs well in earthquake-prone areas. But you are right. Designing and engineering the homes right will be critical. We are currently researching and developing to make them California-ready.

@@onxhomes our military dorms in japan were concrete and very secure during an earthquake we had

In japan modern house are in concrete, tho.

All new homes in Phil are built with concrete except low income families and they face the wrath of typhoons and lose their homes with every direct hit. Nobody in Phil wants a wood home

Your team should consider the Washington DC metro area, you can do some serious numbers in PG County by competing against Ryan Homes and Stanley Martin Homes, for example. They’re too cookie cutter for my taste.

We love sturdy homes too. Goodluck on your home renovation project.

Not true. Japan also builds homes out of wood due to earthquakes.
