Hi, I am after Durisol Builder in Sydney for a duplex.
I original wanted a medium size project builder to do it all. Do any of them use Durisol?
If not, pleas inbox me builders that I could potentially call and find out more.
Thanks,
Sanja

LOL, You calcs are way out mate eg, That's $60/m2 try 2c bricks 20 bricks /m2 ( $3 L & M) Trades and builders will always try to justify extras 2c bricks are cheaper or labour is cheaper? Why not everyone is using them, then?

Alex, My core point is that whatever market you are in, its smart to choose a building material that is common to that market, and that way you will get the best number of trades with experience and enough trades to be able to negotiate a good price. I have heard so many people on here talk about how great Durisol is so I started investigating for a client and I was shocked at how expensive it was compared to what I believe is a relatively low benefit when compared to building materials that are already in the market. In the US where in the colder climates that have very strict thermal requirements for their new builds they are getting R50 and still using timber framing and cladding. Its possible to use timber frames and insulate the home by sealing every single gap. Te other issue with Durisol is the width of the blocks, They are 300-365mm thick so you end up losing usable floor area. They are also very heavy and therefore material handling becomes a bigger issue. Anyway, you might disagree and that is fine. After all this is just a place we can all express our opinions in a friendly manner If you dont like corefilled concrete blocks In Sydney another alternative is Dincel as this is used quite a lot, especially in apartment construction, so again there are a lot of trades with experience.
