What about the new "styrofoam-block construction"?

Frequently Asked Questions about house plans
This method costs from 10% to 25% more to build at this time but has an R-Value of about 20. And since styrofoam is said to last a million years by environmentalists it makes good sense to build houses with it. As this method gets more and more popular, the costs are likely to drop as well.

If the construction is for replacement, repair, or maintenance, a reappraisal is not required.
