In this article, the advantages are analyzed of replacing some traditional materials by other mass prefabricated modern ones, in order to achieve greater industrialization in building construction. The advantages are stressed of using: artificial plaster, due to its good fireresistant properties; glassfiber, which combines its light weight to its noninflammability; plastics (polystyrene, polyurethane, etc.), widely applied as thermal insulants; reinforced cardboard, which answers the problem of earthquake resisting construction most efficiently; new ceramic products with almost all the foregoing properties; etc. Finally, we are made to see that the use of these materials should not be to the detriment of the esthetics of buildings.
