This is a really interesting new thought on labor restrictive stone construction

Tilt-up

now that is an interesting solution....

They've found solutions to many problems including the pre poured window and door jamb detailing, kinda interesting!
The B-clay was also a different approach.

pre-fab stone houses...lol

now that part I found very scary!!

I might consider this method if I knew what I was doing...the article states you should be an experienced mason...I def dont qualify! besides, I wouldnt be able to get the walls up....even with heavy equipment.

The crane rental isn't cheap by any means and the crane transportation being over sized makes more it more expensive.
I'm not sure but the mason working the stone might be cheaper.

Experienced mason? Why? Should you also be a certified welder for the steel frame and or a mold maker for cutting the stuff for the window frame?
NOT!!

Think hiring a team of professional masons to do it this way would reduce the cost?

Would they know the methods? If a person were to do that I think I would contact the people and ask who in your area was trained by them.
Just a thought

good point.

Their website whilst informative is by far not a step by step method topic and I would have to delve into it a wee bit more before feeling confident on the how too's myself.

I saw in my travels today a rock wall going up on a house, it was fake rock and stuck on with glue but not one of those that makes you want to gag.
This fake Stone was all different sizes and could be broken to add shape and contour. All in all a very good job and one that had me thinking at first it was real stone. Not Bad!!

I found a manufactured stone source that looks pretty good...the molds are from real stone...they have a bunch of different styles including Cotswold...When I am nearer building, I'm going to try to get some samples.
