what are some of the major differences in brick and stucco?

Question

i am going to build a house and wanted to know pros and cons of both espcially price

Answer 1

Pricewise the Brick will be more expensive but is a
heck of lot nicer ( I use the word heck because I am
new to answers and don't know the rules too well)
It's a word we used when i was around my Architect
Father who taught me all about Construction.

Stucco is a mix of cement with fibres that is applied
to wire mesh nailed to plywood or building board.---
It can come in colors so you can get a nice effect
that is cheaper than Brick.

In the South where I learned my first building trades
and didn't need the thermal protection that Brick
offers ----many owners opted for "Brick Veneers"
(Houses built of wood on all sides---but enhanced
at the front of the house with specially chosen
Brick attached to the Plywood over Pine Stud
Framing )

Yankees who went by in the old days were fooled
into thinking the house was all Brick ! But then
they never were as smart as us Southerners---

In conclusion Brick is nicer ,Stucco is cheaper !

Answer 2

Stucco is a blend that resembles plaster. We are presently building a new home with the stucco exterior. It is a very elegant look. I don't know if there is a difference in price between brick and stucco. Our builder's price was the same for both.
