Started doing the Villa units, but have also done a few designer homes. Also there are 2 in Bison Valley that are Form Wall homes. Sometimes you will see it done with Styrofoam sections with rebar running thru it. Same concept here. T&D can strip and set up another wall pretty quick.

T&D seems to be an extremely well-run company, capturing all the structural work in TV even including the pools and birdcages thru their Florida Spa & Pool and birdcage subsidiaries. If they've been able to now construct walls with poured concrete instead of block, it seems they may have substantially reduced the business of the masonry contractor(s) who did the block walls until now. When you think about it, T&D is building the entire house except the roof and anything inside.
