Why build an all-concrete home? More than 90 percent of the homes in Minnesota stand on block foundations, and now the same benefits of block are being seen above ground. All-masonry homes are now one of the fastest growing segments of the homebuilding industry as more consumers look for the combination of looks, performance and peace of mind that only block can bring.

Nobody would imagine that something as simple as concrete block is behind, or more accurately beneath, many of the finest homes and the most well known buildings in Minnesota, but it’s true. Since Minnesota builders first started working with concrete masonry in the early part of the last century, block has become the material of choice for the best architects, designers and builders. Builders rate concrete masonry as one of the strongest and most durable products available.
