Concrete Home Benefits
Homeowners love the benefits
of our cast-in-place concrete
shells. Our structures are the
reason these homeowners live
the good life in strong, energy
efficient homes with all of
today's design features. Plus
they are just as beautiful and
livable as any home,
anywhere. Beautiful homes.
Built to last. That's the beauty
of today's concrete.

Stands up to hurricanes,
storms and wind
In recent years, the devastating
winds of hurricanes and
tornadoes have renewed interest
in concrete homes throughout the
country. The integrity and
strength of cast-in-place concrete
adds, for the family, comforting
elements of safety and minimal
property loss. Conventional
frame or masonry construction
have repeatedly demonstrated an
ineffectiveness to resist the
forces of these onslaughts.
Concrete does it naturally, at no
added cost.

Resists fire, insects and rot, too.
Wood frame homes face other natural predators. Insects have them for lunch, literally. And
in just a few short years, rot can run rampant through an entire word structure. Concrete
takes it all in stride and gives the best protection from fire as well.

Energy Efficiency
Even during the hottest, stickiest nights, concrete is the cool way to save money on energy
bills. The thermal mass of the building envelope heats up and cools down slowly, evening
out those peak heating and cooling loads. And, insulated concrete is the hot new choice
for home building in areas where the temperature can sink to the bottom of the
thermometer.
Only Structura offers you a choice of five insulated wall system options, so there's sure to
be one that's just right for your project.
Concrete homeowners also benefit from the material's natural airtight qualities. They save
upfront costs with smaller HVAC packages and will save on energy costs over the decades
ahead. The facts are solid. Concrete homes are more comfortable, naturally, and with
lower energy costs, too.

Stable Costs
This is estimating made easy. You deal with one bid from Structura, instead of guesswork
involving a half dozen or more trades.
And with concrete, our casts (and ultimately your costs) does not fluctuate wildly from month
to month like lumber or other materials. Concrete costs remain steady and predictable
thanks to abundant supplies, ready availability and stable, production costs.

| Benefits of Poured Concrete Technology |
- Best protection from hurricane winds
and severe weather. - 6" thick reinforced concrete walls are
strong and exceed high wind code
specifications. - Remarkably quiet - minimizes noise
infiltration. - Solid concrete construction provides
a safe and secure home.
- Solid, seamless walls
reduce water and wind
intrusion.
- Resists fire, mold, and
termites.
- concrete has the highest
fire rating of all
construction materials.
- Poured concrete wall costs
are comparable to traditional
methods.
- Systems building approach
reduces labor and
accelerates construction
time.
- Superior concrete structures
lower homeowner insurance
rates.
