I dont think most people spend 220k on heating in the life of the house.
I hate tile as they never look the same once you replace one even if it's the same model the color will be slightly off. Wood is too delicate and if you get it wet your done. Polished concrete with rugs are my only option so far.

ICF is an acronym for insulated concrete form, should have included that in the initial post, it's probably the most common method for building concrete residential homes. Depending on where you live it would be 20-30% more to build with icf over wood frame, maybe a bit higher with concrete floors on the upper levels since a rough estimate would be $20-25 a square foot for those alone. I'm not a general contractor like Gridlock, just a sub, so I can only give rough estimates on specialities outside my own.
Here's a pic of an ICF home build.
