In the USA, a fairly common construction technique seems to be building with "cinderblocks"... With vertical rebar and then pouring in the blocks. See video here for example:
How come the equivalent isn't found in Sweden? Feels like a pretty simple way for an amateur to make 'solid' walls?
Can anyone provide some sensible insight into why this is 'bad' (at least in Swedish climate)?
