A masonry exterior building's construction type is commonly referred to as "Type V-B." This sort of development utilizes workmanship materials, like block, substantial block, or stone, for the outside walls, while the inside primary parts are made of wood or other burnable materials. Due to its ability to strike a balance between cost-effectiveness and fire resistance, Type V-B construction is frequently utilized in low-rise commercial and residential structures.
