Our Story

Traditional building materials (concrete, steel and wood) break down over time, are vulnerable to water, chemicals and insects, and are no match to natural disasters. Attempting to achieve energy efficiency, at an affordable cost, is virtually impossible due to long standing inefficient designs and the physical properties of these materials. And yet, we continue to build the same way, using the same materials, over and over again, expecting a different result.Examples:Historic floodingCategory 5 hurricanesWest Coast fires ($136 billion in losses combined in 2018 and 2019),Losses in 2017 totaled over $306.2 billion dollars.As a result of these annual weather related disasters, FEMA’s budgets have been increasingly strained, making it abundantly clear they are not positioned to rebuild America year after year. Homeowners and local communities are also at financial risk for even the most basic coverage of damage, as insurance rates continue to increase year over year. A new building material, using technologically advanced composite materials, must be identified to give us a fighting chance in protecting our loved ones and our communities.Source: Weather Disasters and Costs - Office for Coastal Management, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
