Question:

The insulating blocks are positioned and reinforced with re-bar, and then the blocks are filled with concrete. I was wondering if you had any experience with this product? I am interested in any comments you have for building both exterior and interior walls with it, and any pros/cons as it relates to more traditional house construction methods.

Answer:

Over the past few years this has become more a system than one company's idea. There are several dozen forms of it on the market and the concept, as far as I can see is great but I know that I'd want to see as many variations of it as possible before settling on any one. There are home shows all over the country so the timing of your question is right.
