Polystyrene Blocks for building - opinions

[Daveh]

Hi folks,

Looking for opinions on building a double storey in WA out of Polystyrene blocks/concrete? Has anyone done it? To build does it cost more / less than traditional double brick? Any companies in WA you can recommend that supplies these blocks?

Thanks
Dave

Dave I had a friend do Owner Builder in Trigg with a similar product. I can ask where they go their's from if you like?

There is also the EnergyLite product that Norfolk Homes use which has some similar properties http://www.energylite.com.au/ I believe it's more expensive but you save time on construction so gain back money there - I'm not 100% sure on this so best investigate yourself.
