We have a concrete block house and find it very energy efficient. You will find both wood and metal studs the hangers for artwork etc., are different for each. Our house has sufficient insulation in the walls and ceiling that we do not see significant heat transfer, for example a West facing wall in the evening is not hotter than the east facing wall.
It sounds like your friends should have a discussion with a Villages sales agent, as there may be a different layout that would be more suitable.

My friends talked to sales. You are no longer allowed to build a home the way you want. They were told they would have to make changes once the home was built.
They are thinking it may be best to buy a preowned concrete block home. The block home may be easier to make changes. As I said, we have no clue.
