We at DC monitor the parameters and preferences of our clients' homes using end-to-end production and sales analytics.

The most striking trend that jumps out at me is the more than doubling of aerated-concrete homes. At this point I would call it a triumphant march of aerated concrete across Moscow and the Moscow region, and most likely throughout Russia.

Let's compare. Here's what we see over the entire history of our detailed client records. You can think of it as a count over 10 years, as a percentage:

And here are the last 70 projects (roughly the last year), as percentages:

Houses are usually built a season later. So this is the picture of the last two years of development. Beyond the obvious, you can see that there is no foam concrete at all, thanks to the large number of autoclave production facilities.

I'd like to point out that these statistics cover only the houses we work with. These are usually permanent homes for year-round living and houses that lend themselves to façade design.
