ICS advances Building Technology
into the 21st Century.
Interlocking Construction Systems™
This Patented
Building Technology remarkably simplifies the
manufacturing, handling, and on-site assembly process by
designing building panels which are smaller,
standard-size segments of the entire structure. Most ICS
panels quickly interlock together without fasteners or
tools.
The
ICS building panels are completely finished with
all building parts, systems, insulation etc. and quickly
interlock into a completed structure, by semi-skilled
laborers.
ICS Building Applications
Permanent and
semi-permanent rural and export housing
Temporary housing for disaster
and emergency relief victims
Non-residential structures, such
as offices,schools,or storage units
Structural Testing on the
Interlocking Construction Systems™has
shown superior structural strength over conventional residential
construction methods, exceeding residential and commercial
building code requirements.
Proving the Sum is
Greater than its Parts:
The ICS is the premier in whole-house panelized
technology. USDA funds testing, research and development
Test results show that the ICS is superior to
conventional construction technology..
An efficient assembly/production line
approach (much like automobiles) can be realized by
concentrating lean manufacturing technology to automate the
production of a limited combination of smaller “standard
sized” ICS panel/sections, thus reaching a production level
not possible in today’s manufactured/modular housing plants
(where a multiple combinations of the full sized components
are conventionally framed in-plant) or on-site in custom
construction.
The complete pre-finishing and preserving of these
standardized ICS panel/sections can be more efficiently
accomplished along the assembly/production line to produce a
higher quality, longer lasting building component, compared
to finishing full-sized components of modular and
manufactured housing in-plant, or on-site construction using
conventional finish application processes.
Current Building Technologies
invented in the 19th Century
With the advent of the two-by-four and stick
framing, Current Building Technologies were first invented
in the mid 1830's and designed around a better quality material resource.
The lifespan and structural integrity of Homes built today
is much less than that of Homes built over 50 or more years ago,
consequently they're requiring
major repairs within their first few decades of service.
ICS Green
Dream
is to ultimately build Interlocking, Self-Sufficient
Homes that
better protect Mankind and the Earth.
