Building A Concrete Home |
Not an industrial "business park" shell, but an innovative design that incorporates such sustainable elements as the insulated concrete wall with its "Thermo Mass," Radiant Floor Heating, steel windows, Kalwall Sky Lights, and Grafix Eye Lighting System. All rough electrical and plumbing are integrated in walls and floor prior to lifting. But the greatest benefit of this concept, aside from the shear beauty, is its strength against the elements: fire resistant, storm worthy (hurricanes, tornados, etc.), and sound and noise reduction. Worrisome termite reports are a thing of the past, and upkeep and maintenance are a fraction of conventional homes. Concrete homes provide security, comfort, and style for multiple generations. |
Select & Prepare Site |
A foundation is poured and after curing, serves as a platform for the pouring of each individual wall. |
After selecting a site, the grounds are cleared |
Grounds are surveyed and prepared for a foundation. |
A crane is used to lift the individual wall segments into place. |
The segments are then secured to the foundation and to each other. |
The wood reclaimed from the wall forming process is then used to frame a roof. |
Eves are sealed, rain gutters are installed, and exterior trim, lighting, and other appointments are completed. |
