Build sustainable disaster-resistant housing faster and more affordable using better assembly methods

1. Appropriate Fit
Using Today’s
Technologies
to
Overcome Common
Building Problems
www.CBS-Homes.com

2. Current Conditions
• Labor intensive systems
– High cost skill trades, shortage of trained workers, poor workmanship,
inadequate supervision, inconsistent quality, energy inefficient, unmet
current needs, growing housing deficits - worldwide
• Building methods unchanged
– Escalating environmental damage, severe raw material cost cycles,
intermittent shortages, recurring disaster damage – resistance to change
• Constant pressure to build fast and cheap
– Overlooks innovation, relies on cheapest materials
– Little industry effort to improve construction methods
– No concern for long term costs of building ownership
Traditional Complacency Maintains status quo
“I only do what I know” mentality
www.CBS-Homes.com

3. Implication - “No-changes in Sight”
• Labor Intensive – Old Methods – Low Cost Materials
– Means
• No immediate universal fix of deficits
– Implications
• No evolving large scale solution “We have always done it this
way”
– Consequences
• A continuing series of band aid solutions rising deficits & no
solutions
– Until the CBS Egis® Home
• Automated Assembly with Construction Optimized Composites

4. High Speed - High Quality - Buildings
Egis®-Systems fight disasters and overcome deficits

5. A Simple Solution from CBS
• Replace traditional building materials with
– Disaster resistant composites
• Replace old building methods with
– Factory panelized buildings
• Use automotive assembly line production methods
– For rapid production
• Erect protective building shells for builders to finish
– Existing workers finish & deliver buildings
– No change in their tools, materials, or methods
– No retraining
