HIGHLY OUT OF THE QUESTION

The weight would be your issue,, weighing in roughly at 2 tons per yard. structurally there would be issues,,, A lightweight mix would have to be used to pump such a thing,,, then there would be issues forming it on the house. Cost would be very high also.

If I where building another house, it would be formwall all the way. Or as known in The Villages poured wall. The walls are pumped solid all the way around. The only way to go. Or out of the villages a Poly Wall.

But window upgrades and insulation upgrades will save you money.

But I think the OP has gotten alittle off hand.
