Concrete Block vs. Poured Concrete Construction
 

We have pretty much decided on the Anaheim model of concrete courtyard villas, but after looking at the TV home gallery site, and the construction information on the second page of the floorplans, I'm a little bit confused. The Anaheim description says "Concrete Wall Construction", and when I look at the concrete Designer Homes for comparison, most (maybe all) say "Block Construction". My question is does this mean the CYV is a poured concrete construction and the designer is block? I'll ask my agent next week, but would appreciate input from anyone who might have this information already. Thanks.

From looking at the ongoing construction around the "south 40", It looks like the villas are poured, and almost everything is block. Except , of course the wood frame.

Thanks for the info. Eyes on the ground are really helpful.

Our courtyard villa has poured concrete walls. Our designer has cement block walls. I believe that is the normal construction practice.

The HAciendas at Mission Hills are all poured block, I am sure as I bought one and they seemed to feature it as a positive.

In the Designer homes series, I know the Allamanda model is poured wall construction. Another poster has stated in the past that the Cedar model also has poured walls.

The Haciendas are poured wall construction as well - no concrete block involved in the exterior walls at all.

Sorry, I got my terminology mixed up. What do I know? I know it is some sort of pour that seemed to be touted as a positive. I just like the view.
