So you tie into the concrete with anchors? Act like youve done this before. Considering its only an inch or whatever furring strips should do just fine

Buy why would you go through that trouble unless you don’t know concrete and only know framing? I see no benefit. It’s not cheaper, nor quicker, nor easier. I suppose if you have physical issues lifting heavy durock and mortar bags, you might prefer working with lighter wood, or possibly you know a way to cheap out on it, but to me it’s not sensible. What I believe is the case, is that a framer wants the opportunity to flaunt their skills, having only a hammer and seeing all problems as nails.
