Foam Buildings

The essence of green building is creating structures that are far more efficient in their consumption of energy and water, and less wasteful in their use of materials than conventional buildings.

Savings through better products and efficiencies: Our custom wall and roof panels, made with EPS (Expaned PolyStyrene) and light gauge steel, combined with our proprietary software will cut-list and provide shop drawing accuracy to all elements of the structure and finishes. The result is an overall efficiency that will cut up to 20% of the cost of traditional constrution, at the same time providing a clean, green, healthy, and safe environment for the occupants and even the construction crew.

We offer a complete building package that will provide a completed, weather tight shell, that also provides the absolute lowest carbon footprint and extremely low energy bills for the life of the building. The more custom and complex the building, the more Vitruvian will benefit the project. By applying our technologies from start to finish it is possible to eliminate up to 20% of costs of traditional methods of construction.

Environmental leadership: Vitruvian has brought together the design, engineering and manufacturing standards to forge a new path of acceptance in every City and County that before, was challenging to attain. The long-term benefits of creating this overall acceptance are immeasurable.

Creativity and other considerations: Vitruvian's automation encourages design flexibility. Once a building shell is designed, Vitruvian's patented software will actually build the wall itself in 3D, labeling each component and generating code to cut the materials. If the shell design happens to change, the 3D wall can be rebuilt in seconds and all of the data associated with it will update. This modern technology, coupled with flexible materials can adapt, but are not limited to traditional architecture. There are no design limitations.

Reducing pollution: America’s buildings represent more than 36% of our energy consumption and more than 30% of our green house gas emissions. If the estimated replacement and new construction between now and 2030 all used the Vitruvian process, it would be the equivalent of taking 91 million cars off the road.

Improving resource conservation, sustainability and improving energy efficiency: Through our customized software, we are able to accurately cut-list, not only the wall and roof panels that create our highly efficient envelope, but all of the other building materials that make up a structure. The result is an overall waste rate of less than 1% or 1/10 that of traditional construction methods.

Improving air and water quality: All Vitruvian materials produce zero off-gassing for the life of the building. Virtual jobsites enable Vitruvian to confront potential problems digitally (on-screen) rather than physically (in-field), insuring an efficient assembly. Like a tiger, saving reserve energy (resources) for the critical moment when it is needed most, in short bursts. Also, because of the lightweight building product, there is a huge reduction in the associated transportation costs, therefore minimizing green house gasses.
