Hi,
I belong to severe earthquake zone . Heard about some almost readymade (only 3-5 days required for erection)plastic houses .Is it true ? I mean plastic houses will be obviously earthquake-proof , but from where to get more details - companies , erection training etc .

Also what do you people think about a costly house made on raft foundation , walls/roof all of RCC , with continuity of reinforcement everywhere . I think this can sustain severmost earthquake .

Any ideas in this regard .
Thanks in advance
