Does masonry construction cost more than conventional wood frame construction?
If you compare the cost of building a masonry home with the least expensive way to build a wood frame home, then the masonry home will probably cost more to build, especially the initial cost. Currently, builders are responding to home owner’s requests and building better insulated, tighter, higher performing homes. It costs more to build these high-performing wood frame homes so the price difference between wood and masonry is diminishing.
