Concrete Homes Address New Orleans Housing Crisis

摘要

As builders gear up to meet the enormous demand for homes in areas wrecked by hurricanes Katrina and Rita last fall, concrete home builders are charging in, with several setting up around New Orleans. "You will probably see a lot more," predicts Jeremy Bertrand, executive director of the concrete home building council of the National Association of Home Builders. He says concrete construction's promise of durable, code compliant, highly sustainable products is attracting interest as the area rebuilds. "The only downside is misunderstanding, because of how new they are to the marketplace," Bertrand says.
