Prefab Ferrocement Building Kits for Safe, Sustainable Construction
Founded in 2001, we pioneered disaster-resistant, sustainable Ferrocement construction kits designed to revolutionize modern building practices. Our patented panelized system combines advanced engineering with prefabrication, offering structures that withstand hurricanes, earthquakes, wildfires, and floods while maintaining environmental responsibility. With over two decades of experience, we deliver code-compliant solutions for residential, commercial, and community projects, emphasizing affordability, speed, and durability. Our proprietary Ferrocement technology reduces material usage by up to 87.5% compared to traditional methods, minimizing environmental impact without compromising structural integrity. Backed by rigorous engineering standards and field-tested performance, our systems incorporate pre-engineered panels, on-site support, and comprehensive documentation to ensure seamless assembly.We maintain strict quality control through factory production, guaranteeing precision-cut components that minimize waste and labor costs. Our commitment to innovation extends to specialized applications including exostructures for building rehabilitation, disaster recovery housing, and climate-resilient infrastructure. With installations across the Caribbean, Gulf Coast, and North America, our structures have demonstrated proven resilience against extreme weather events for over 20 years. We provide full-service support from design to completion, including financing assistance and code compliance guarantees. Our team of experienced professionals combines architectural expertise with practical construction knowledge to deliver safe, durable, and cost-effective building solutions tailored to diverse client needs.

Ferrocement Construction Kits
Our Ferrocement construction kits combine advanced engineering with prefabrication technology to create disaster-resistant structures. The panelized system features pre-engineered components that assemble like puzzle pieces, enabling rapid construction while maintaining structural integrity against natural disasters. Each kit includes precision-cut panels, fasteners, and detailed assembly instructions.
Disaster-Resistant Homes
We design and manufacture homes engineered to withstand extreme weather events including hurricanes, earthquakes, and wildfires. Our structures incorporate reinforced Ferrocement technology with 2-hour fire resistance ratings, hurricane-resistant design elements, and seismic flexibility features that maintain structural integrity during natural disasters while preserving occupant safety.
Sustainable Building Systems
Our eco-friendly building systems reduce material consumption by up to 87.5% compared to traditional construction methods. The prefabricated panel system minimizes on-site waste, utilizes durable materials with extended lifespans, and incorporates energy-efficient design elements that contribute to long-term environmental sustainability and reduced carbon footprint.
Commercial Building Kits
We provide commercial construction solutions featuring rapid assembly, cost efficiency, and disaster resistance. Our commercial kits include office buildings, retail spaces, and industrial facilities engineered with Ferrocement technology to deliver durable, code-compliant structures that reduce construction timelines and maintenance costs while maintaining safety standards.
Exostructure Rehabilitation
Our exostructure system enables cost-effective rehabilitation and weatherization of existing buildings. The Ferrocement reinforcement method strengthens aging structures while allowing continued occupancy, providing seismic upgrades, weather protection, and structural enhancement without requiring complete rebuilding.

Questions
What makes Ferrocement construction different from traditional methods?
Our Ferrocement system uses reinforced cement mortar over wire mesh frameworks, creating stronger, more flexible structures that resist disasters while using less material.
Can I build an am-cor home myself?
Yes, our panelized kits allow two people to assemble a 2000 sq.ft. home in two days with basic tools and instructions.
How do your homes withstand natural disasters?
The integrated Ferrocement system provides 2-hour fire resistance, hurricane wind protection up to 150 mph, and seismic flexibility that prevents collapse during earthquakes.
Are financing options available for am-cor homes?
Yes, we assist with mortgage financing through conventional lenders and provide documentation to support loan applications for our prefabricated systems.
What building codes do your kits comply with?
Our kits meet International Building Code (IBC), International Residential Code (IRC), and other major standards with guaranteed compliance documentation.
How environmentally friendly are your construction kits?
Our system uses 87.5% less material than traditional construction, creates minimal waste, and produces durable structures that last generations with lower maintenance needs.

Report
Fantastic people with lots of knowledge. Very helpful when it comes to choosing the right solutions for my prefab home. I'd recommend to everyone looking for actual quality home kits and not this cheap wooden stuff out there
