A few of the current models are poured walls - CYV examples: Mission Hills and Cabanas at Creekside Landing. Designer examples: Allamanda and Cedar. There might be a couple of others..... . The other concrete construction homes will be concrete block.

No green house wrap on CBS (or poured wall) homes - the wrap will only be on stick built homes.

I can't speak for ALL brands of house wrap as there might be differences/exceptions from brand to brand......but in general, the intent of a house wrap is to help keep moisture from getting in and at the same time let any moisture that's inside be able to get out. That's the way DuPont's Tyvek works.
