What works over your way doesn't necessarily work over here and vice versa. So its hard to judge or be critical. IMO, Only because they make it hard for you to compare I look at it this way any building material that requires further manufacturing and transportation adds 4-5 times the base material cost I'd rather pay the guys more on site to manufacture and erect. tho not always suitable for all jobs Cheers Chris Chris I think we would get along, as I agree with your building principles. It's old school but hey there are still Roman buildings standing after 2000 years and all that concrete was formed and poured on site! I come from a background of building hundreds of warehouses where we formed and poured all our own panels on site to control quality rather then relying on precast panels built in a factory. The only problem with our way of thinking is that not everyone can afford to build this way, and sometimes some materials are cheaper from the mass produced factory, so we have to be pragmatic to peoples budgets. We are using Hebel a bit at the moment as it's cheap and in Sydney and with land prices being so high we are finding that customer's budgets are tight. If installed correctly its not a bad product but would I choose it over rendered brick, absolutely not if money were no object.
