“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.
 Rebuilding New Orleans and the Gulf Coast: Louisiana positioning itself as the

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.”
 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 Advanced Construction Composites to
create support wall framing for residential and commercial buildings. Advanced
Construction Composite pultrusions replace wood and concrete block wall and are
stronger than steel and lighter than wood. CBS prices are about 20 percent
lower in cost than other structural support methods.
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.
