“We cannot simply recreate what the storms destroyed. We must make the new Louisiana smarter, safer and stronger.” -- Gov. Kathleen Babineaux Blanco
Rebuild with confidence. Hurricane resistant housing will be at the forefront of the massive rebuilding effort for Louisiana and the Gulf Coast.
Louisiana Parishes Affected by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita - Acadia, Ascension, Assumption, Beauregard, Calcasieu, Cameron, East Baton Rouge, East Feliciana, Iberia, Iberville, Jefferson, Jefferson Davis, Lafayette, Lafourche, Livingston, Orleans, Pointe Coupee, Plaquemines, St. Bernard, St. Charles, St. Helena, St. James, St. John, St. Mary, St. Martin, St. Tammany, Tangipahoa, Terrebonne, Vermilion, Washington, West Baton Rouge, and West Feliciana.
Construction in hurricane vulnerable areas requires a different approach.
Applying technology originally developed by the Department of Defense and used on the wings of fighter aircraft such as the Stealth Bomber, CBS Homes uses fiberglass composites to create support wall framing for residential and commercial buildings. Composite fiberglass pultrusions replace wood and concrete block wall and are stronger than steel and lighter than wood.
CBS Homes takes any print, any design, any size home from any builder and makes the parts to build the house shell. Parts are converted into wall panels in a local assembly plant and the panels erected.
The complete framing package, which includes rafters, trusses, joists and wall panels, is stronger, safer, and longer lasting than any other product commercially available in the construction and building industries. The exterior support walls are certified to withstand 350 MPH winds and resist the strongest earthquakes. The walls are fireproof, termite proof, water proof, and black mold resistant. CBS prices are about 20 percent lower in cost than other structural support methods.

Advanced Construction Composite manufacturer of storm safe housing to locate state-of-the-art Construction Technology Campus in Louisiana
Patented technology will mitigate disaster damage and exceed the most stringent building code requirements
Local and state officials are looking to an Advanced Construction Composite building manufacturer in storm battered Florida for the technology and expertise necessary to direct the massive rebuild of homes destroyed by hurricanes Katrina and Rita. CBS Homes of Florida, the developer of patented Advanced Construction Composite exterior support walls that withstand 350 MPH winds, has announced plans to locate a state-of-the-art Construction Technology Campus (CTC) in the state.
James P. Antonic, President and C.E.O. of CBS Homes Florida, will be meeting with state officials and parish governments across the state next week to unveil his business plan to build affordable and sustainable homes in Louisiana.
The CTC will bring together manufacturers of glass, windows, doors, sheeting, and insulation in one location to create a core of parts needed to build homes to a higher standard. These components will flow into the hurricane resistant Advanced Construction Composite wall panels creating economies in construction not available when combining products from a variety of independent and scattered makers. Uniting all the exterior wall component manufacturers at one location will showcase the best methods to mitigate potential disaster damage with sustainable buildings. This integrated process will save time, money, and create a finished house at a lower cost with improved features compared to conventional homes built on-site.
According to Mr. Antonic, this one site will synergize research, manufacturing and sales. There is no other site in the United States where manufacturers are located in the same place, he explains. “The CTC can be Louisiana’s response to the devastation of hurricanes Katrina and Rita and produce immediate mitigation in a meaningful way throughout the state.”
The complete framing package, which includes rafters, trusses, joists and wall panels, is stronger, safer, and longer lasting than any other product commercially available in the construction and building industries, according to Mr. Antonic. “These homes are energy efficient, will never rot, have higher resale value, lower insurance rates and lower maintenance costs than homes built with any other type of support framing structures.”
The exterior support walls are certified to withstand 350 MPH winds and resist the strongest earthquakes. The walls are fireproof, termite proof, water proof, and black mold resistant.
Like Florida which weathered a record number of hurricanes in 2004, Louisiana will face more stringent building code requirements and insurance problems as the state begins to rebuild. The unique environment of both states, says Antonic, calls for safer, stronger, longer lasting homes that stand up to the forces of nature. The technology is available, he adds, and is already being used in building CBS homes throughout Florida.
