Wood Versus Concrete

There has always been a discourse as to whether a house built of concrete is better than one built of wood, and vise verse. Now, there are some things that determine why a house is built of either material:

*Availability of Building material *Affordability of building material *Where the building is Taking place *How high Is the Structure Your building *How big is the structure you are building *Your Taste.

The availability of building material is one of the factors that has been a deciding factor that determines what people build there house out of, especially in developing countries. In these countries because of the lack of the funds that you can find in richer countries, whatever is available for building purposes will be what is predominantly used.

An Example is. in an inner city of Kingston Jamaica called August Town, because of the presence of a limestone mine and 4 or 5 block factories, every house present there is made of concrete, even though the use of steel might be questionable, concrete houses went up and not one wood structure.

In contrast in the rural towns of Belize, you will find a proliferation of wooden houses due to the availability of logging trees. The main factor that determines the kind of house a regular Joe will build is whats affordable. If the material is cheaper to build with that is what he will go with. regardless of suitability

Now we go to the more fortunate people in society, who have more disposable income to spend on a house. These people will take into consideration, the climate, the soil type, seismic activities, and all the other factors surrounding safe building practices, and will employ the most suitable material or combination there of to ensure a solid home.

The height of the structure is very important when building, while you can go up several stories with wood, it meets its limitation long before concrete. The size or acreage of ground space covered by a building is also considered when building, the bigger the building is the more likely that concrete is going to be more suitable.

Another path taken, and by the more affluential in society is taste. People who can afford it will build the kind of house using the type of material they simply like... sheer passion. They will disregard prudency and anything that goes into making a house safe just to have the house in their mind, that they love.

Now whether you build with wood or concrete, it is advisable that you employ a reputable builder in the construction of your home. A house is most likely to be the biggest investment a regular person of regular income will ever make, and, care should be take to ensure that your investment is solid, and the only way to ensure the solidity of your investment is by exercising due diligence in the purchase and or construction process.
