Pros and cons of monolithic structures

Monolithic housing construction is made using concrete casting technology. It should be noted that during the construction of this kind of object, for the most part, the concrete mass is used for casting individual structural elements, but not at all for erecting the walls of the whole house. Due to its strength, monolithic casting is most often used for the manufacture of basement floor boxes, floors and ceilings in buildings with two or three floors.

The main disadvantages of buildings made of concrete can be called:

the duration of construction and the complexity of the process;
low thermal insulation and the need for wall insulation;
low degree of vapor permeability and the need for additional ventilation.
At the same time, seismic resistance and strength are considered the main advantages of houses made using monolithic casting. Among the positive qualities of buildings in the construction of which concrete is used, water resistance is noted. The advantages of using concrete casting are cheapness and the possibility of building buildings of non-standard shapes.

Advantages and disadvantages of brick buildings

The main disadvantage of building brick buildings is the duration. In addition, the work should be trusted to professionals, which to some extent increases the cost of wages to builders.

It is worth noting that one of the disadvantages of using brick is the inability to build a strong house without creating a solid foundation. Experts also note that it is highly desirable to use brick housing construction for year-round use. This minimizes the risks of destruction of structures from the inside, provoked by temperature changes in the absence of heating or periodic heating.

Brick houses have an attractive appearance and are considered relatively warm. Other building benefits include:

durability;
fire safety;
environmental friendliness.
Brick structures are less prone to rot and the appearance of molds than others. This is due to the composition of the material and is a positive criterion when choosing the best housing option for families with children and asthmatics.

Panel construction: strengths and weaknesses

Panel construction is distinguished by the simplicity of creating multi-storey structures. In the recent past, high-rise buildings were often built using panels. Apartments in such buildings were distinguished by a low degree of sound insulation and a fast cooling rate of the walls, due to which fungus appeared in the premises when the air temperature decreased or the ambient humidity increased. To solve the problem with the appearance of mold, you can use additional materials for insulation. To reduce sound transmission, special materials are also used. But such measures require additional investments.

Buildings built using panel construction technology can hardly be called warm. Also, builders call the lack of buildings the lack of the ability to create complex facades or build houses according to individual projects.

The choice of housing, taking into account materials, is a process that requires sufficient knowledge to make the acquisition successful. We recommend entrusting the search for an object to professionals, in particular, certified realtors. This will save your nerves and time, and will also make it possible to avoid problems associated with the acquisition of real estate that requires additional investments.
