New report on concrete masonry

A new report indicates that using concrete masonry construction saves lives and protects property from building fires, plus, it is also a wise economic choice. The report has been released by the Fire Safety Construction Advisory Councils representing New England, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Maryland. Haas Architects and Engineers of State College, Pennsylvania were commissioned by the councils to conduct the study seeking to compare costs between light construction and noncombustible fire containment construction such as concrete masonry. Nothing better than a heavy house, that's what I always say. Your comment?
