Why Fortress?

Benefits Of Concrete Construction

​

• Durability:

  • Concrete construction outlasts traditional wood-framed structures by 2-3x.

  • They are also more resistant to insects, moisture, mold, fire, and wind, which  ensure a robust and long-lasting shelter.

​

• Energy Efficiency:

  • Despite being dense and airtight, concrete’s reputation as a poor insulator is overcome by incorporating a thick layer of insulation into the panels.

  • This enhances energy efficiency and reduces construction time and costs by eliminating the need for additional insulation and sheetrock.

​

• Cost Savings:

  • While initial costs may be higher than wood-framed structures, the lifetime savings in energy efficiency, lower maintenance, and reduced insurance expenses make concrete homes a financially savvy choice.

  • Streamlining the construction process further contributes to cost reductions.

​

• Design Flexibility:

  • Fortress introduces optimal design flexibility by using small concrete panels, allowing architects and homeowners to create homes of any size or style.

  • Traditional exterior finishes such as stucco, stone, brick, or tile can be seamlessly incorporated, enhancing curb appeal.

​

• Reduced Environmental Impact:

  • Concrete construction offers a more sustainable option with reduced environmental impact compared to traditional wood-framed homes.

  • The longevity of concrete structures contributes to less frequent rebuilding, promoting resource conservation and long-term environmental stewardship.
