Hurricane Resistant Housing – hurricanes, tornadoes and other strong winds damage or destroy many buildings. However, with proper design and construction, the damage to buildings by these forces can be greatly reduced.
Insulated Concrete Form – ICFs are forms or molds that have built-in insulation for accepting reinforced concrete. These large, hollow blocks are filled with reinforcing bar and concrete resulting in a high-performing wall that is structurally sound, insulated, strapped, has a vapor barrier and is ready to accept final exterior and interior finishes.
Green Construction - Green building (also known as green construction or sustainable building) refers to a structure and using process that is environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout a building's life-cycle: from site selection to design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation, and demolition. This practice expands and complements the classical building design concerns of economy, utility, durability, and comfort.
