SUPERIOR HOME SAFTEY

YOUR FORTIFIED HOUSING WILL PROTECT YOUR FAMILY AND YOUR INVESTMENT AGAINST MOTHER NATURE’S WRATH

HURRICANESFortified Housing is engineered to withstand Category 5 hurricanes that clock in at up to 200 mph. Public buildings in high-wind velocity areas are the only other structures designed to these rigorous specifications. Fortified Housing is built with impact windows and sliding glass patio doors that protect your home against break-ins as wells as hurricanes.

EARTHQUAKESFortified Housing is engineered to comply with local building codes to withstand or exceed the seismic effects of earthquakes.

FIREFortified Housing is fire proof. There are no combustible or organic materials used in the construction of our homes other than kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities.

TORNADOSTornadoes are more common in the United States than in any other country. Compared with other states, Florida ranks number 4 for frequency of tornadoes. Fortunately, Fortified Housing are designed to withstand the estimated 166 to 200 mph winds registered by the second strongest category of tornadoes on the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale used to rate the strength of the potentially devastating twisters in the United States.

Tornados are common worldwide and range in intensity from a FS Category 1 to a FS Category 5. Fortified Housing construction is engineered for FS Category 4, which is up to a wind speed of 200 miles per hour.

Safety is one of the most important factors to consider when buying a home. Fortified Housing is built under strict structural and safety specifications that help protect you and your family against the dangers posed by man and nature. You won’t need to evacuate…your home is your shelter! No more last-minute trips to the hardware store to buy plywood to protect your windows. No need to invest in expensive shutters. Fortified Housing is built and equipped to protect your family and your belongings.

FORTIFIED HOUSING SAVES YOU MORE AND GIVES YOU MORE

COMFORT AND VALUE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD

SUPERIOR QUALITYTraditional builders save money by using materials that meet standard building codes. By contrast, all Fortified Housing structures are built using superior quality building materials that actually save the consumer money in terms of insurance premiums, utility bills and maintenance. Our solar cell panel system will drastically reduce your electric bill. We invest in better materials for savings on insurance premiums, utilities bills and long-term maintenance.

SWIFT CONSTRUCTION TIMEThe Fortified Housing building system takes three to four weeks to build, substantially reducing construction loan costs. An average home takes from three to five months to build making it vulnerable to material theft and vandalism.

Fortified Housing building systems can be ordered in many ways. A. Fortified Housing will construct the home and hand you the keys ready to move in. B. The buyer can select their own contractor to build our fortified home system. C. Fortified Housing can redesign to your needs for a custom-built home. D. Select from one of our standard plans and save. E. All construction materials can be shipped to the building site ready for construction. No additional materials are required to purchase to complete the home. F. Fortified Housing can export all materials in a container and ship anywhere in the world.

CUSTOM DESIGNED PANELIZED HOMESFortified Housing builds homes following the stringent specifications of our design engineers. We use high-end commercial grade materials and fabricating precision to construct each unit. Each panelized building system must pass stringent inspections before being shipped to the location of your choice. Our panelized system is well suited to a variety of private and commercial consumers including families, developers, and recreational and business uses.

Any home, office or commercial space can be customized in 12 x 12 foot units for quick assembly at the building site. We can ship and install several pre-assembled section for even faster construction.

STEEL AND SOLID CONCRETE CONSTRUCTIONFortified Housing uses a combination of steel structural framing and poured concrete construction that does not face the issues affecting wood frame or concrete block construction. Our methods and materials provide a solid structure that is both extremely resilient and environmentally friendly.

Fortified Housing is constructed from pre-assembled panels with exterior and interior walls connected to steel structural framing called Structural Insulated Panels (SIP). These insulated panels are pre-wired and pre-plumbed. This method allows us to ship the entire building envelope, including the roof and floor, by truck or container to any location in the world. We also provide all building materials including finishes, paint, electrical, air conditioning, plumbing, tankless water heater, flooring, interior partitions, cabinets, and granite counter tops.

All kitchen and bath floor panels come with pre-installed plumbing, ready to set down on the foundation and hook up to existing water and sewer lines. Our pre-wired panels are also ready to connect with cable, Internet and local power lines.

Fortified Housing can be built on three types of foundations:

1. Stem wall or basement foundation 2. Concrete slab foundation 3. Pier foundation (ideal for uneven terrain, hills and lots below flood plain level)

OPTIONAL ADDITIONAL FEATURESConsumers may choose optional building units including a utility room (9 x 9 ft. or 9 x 13 ft.), a one-car garage (13 x 25 feet), or a two-car garage (21 x 25 ft.). These can be purchased separately or added to any Fortified Housing order. Optional units can be colored to match existing Fortified Housing structures. They can be shipped in panels, sections or pre-assembled.

STEEL FRONT DOORFortified Housing comes with fireproof steel front doors. They will not dry rot or decay when exposed to termites or fungi that affect wood. The doors will not swell, warp, or cause fitting problems in moist environments.

ADA COMPLIANTAll Fortified Housing homes are designed to be accessible to persons with disabilities and are in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

Fortified Housing includes energy-smart and environmentally sound features such as special above-code insulating materials and energy efficient electrical equipment. Our environmentally conscious approach reduces waste and provides substantial savings in utility bills.

REFLECTIVE ROOF COATING AND UV HEAT SHIELD ON WINDOWSWhite or reflective metal roofs and UV window heat shields help reflect the sun’s rays, reducing cooling costs and energy consumption.

SOLAR PANELSSolar panels are optional but do not require an additional cash deposit. The total cost of the panels, including installation, can be added to the mortgage and financed over 30 years. Savings of over 90% of the monthly electric bill will more than exceed the additional mortgage payment cost.

WATER SAVING PLUMBING FIXTURESCut down on your water bill with water efficient toilets and fixtures that come standard with every home.

TANKLESS ENERGY EFFICIENT HOT WATER SYSTEMTankless water heaters are a standard feature in all Fortified Housing. They provide instant hot water only when needed, and save about 40% on the electric bill. The typical tank-style hot water heater works 24 hours a day.

AIR CIRCULATION FANExhaust fans are installed in every kitchen and bath to vent outside of the building. Most homes use less expensive fans with filters that only recirculate the stale and humid air trapped indoors.

HIGH SEER AIR CONDITIONERThe performance of a cooling and heating system is determined in large part by the equipment’s operating efficiency. For air conditioners this metric is called the Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER). Higher SEER ratings mean greater efficiency. Federal law requires a minimum of 13 SEER-rated air conditioning units. Fortified Housing’s A/C units have energy saving inverters with a 17 or higher SEER that significantly lower monthly electric bills.

ENERGY EFFICIENT APPLIANCES CAN BE INCLUDEDThe electrical equipment installed in our Fortified Housing have the ENERGY STAR label. ENERGY STAR is an international standard for energy efficient consumer products. Appliances carrying the Energy Star label typically use 20 to 30 percent less energy than required by federal standards. In the United States, the ENERGY STAR label is also shown on Energy Guide labels. The Energy Guide provides consumers in the United States information about the energy consumption, efficiency, and operating costs of appliances and consumer products.

Your Fortified Housing home will include an energy efficient 30” range and 18 cf refrigerator.
