Multiple Builder Benefits - CBS offers builders a shell business – with a difference. The entire protective building envelope is made to the builder’s specifications using aeronautically designed composites, optimized for construction, that are the structural support skeleton in the walls, floors, and roofs. These composite studs are up to 1,400 times stronger than the wood studs, steel studs, jack studs, king studs, cripples, stem walls, or headers that they replace.

Builders are licensed by CBS following a short study of the methods and materials used in the CBS system. The only difference between the layouts in wood construction and the layouts in CBS composite construction is that CBS studs are on 24 (61 cm) inch centers instead of 16 (40.6 cm) inch centers. Everyone who knows how to build with wood or steel studs already knows how to build with the CBS system. And because the structural supports are built in and assembly plant and assembled by CBS trained crews, the on-site workers do not have to have any training in wood construction.

Within 2-weeks of builder’s orders, CBS assembles the panels and erects the walls, floors, and roofs for the builder to finish. CBS support walls contain anti-racking shear bracing sheets, exterior sheets, insulation, windows, doors, and electric boxes placed according to builder’s prints. All CBS panels are erected to dry-in and lock-up by CBS trained crews who also anchor bolt, strap, tie and certify the shell to withstand hurricane, tornado, termite, and missile impact potential disasters. CBS applies higher standards than the minimums required by current building codes, yet the erected shell is price competitive with a low cost wood structure.

Builders licensed by CBS get their shell on time and finish their building on time. This enables builders to finish more structures each year with their same crews. Using CBS for the protective shell qualifies for up to 21 LEED points towards “Green” certification. For the first time, your walls are a unique “BRAND” that is different from all your competition.

Your customers get a stronger, safer, longer lasting home with perfectly straight, square, and plumb walls. They get the multiple benefits of a fortress home that is insurable at a lower cost and can provide up to 60% savings on utility bills.
