About our Technology   

BuildFast is a cost effective, high durability, construction technique that allows buildings to be put up quickly.  The basis of the technique is specialized wire mesh panels, surrounding a core of industrial-grade expanded polystyrene.  A series of panels is assembled together to create a structure, and then the panels are sprayed with high-strength concrete to solidify the structure. 

Panel Composition:

BuildFast panels are composed of 3 components:

  • Fire resistant expanded polystyrene (EPS)
  • Galvanized wire mesh
  • High tensile strength wire truss structure

After erection, panels are coated with one inch of concrete on each side.

 

How it works:

The incredible strength of the BuildFast panel is created by the truss and concrete working together.  The high tensile strength truss transfers load between the concrete layers.  This allows both the 'give' necessary to withstand earthquakes and the strength to withstand typhoon winds.  The embedded EPS provides insulation to keep the house warm in the winter and cool in the summer..

Panel Construction:

BuildFast typically uses mobile machinery for panel construction.  This strategy allows us to assemble panels close to the construction site, which saves on transportation costs and speeds up panel delivery.  It also creates local jobs with minimal capital investment and ramp-up time.   Local panel assembly availability is based on order size and local conditions.
