Venturi Shell Kit Home
Bariloche, Argentina |
We have shipped hundreds of kit homes from Alaska to Argentina, from the West Indies to Fiji. They have proven to be hurricane, typhoon, tornado & earthquake proof. In fact, our unique geodesic dome kit homes can withstand winds up to 250 mph, our round & octagon homes up to 200 mph. These high values are achieved due to our specialized engineering skills & architectural designs, honed & refined since 1973 by on hands experience through our parent company: California Builders, Inc. of Potomac, near DC. |
All our homes are
designed to be built with-out any load bearing interior partitions using our
unique specialized structural steel connectors, so you can have the open
interiors with cathedral ceiling in any room you like. We are best known for
our exposed beams, enabling clear spans in length up to 52 feet. While other
companies rely on roof trusses in their designs, we pride ourselves in our post
& beam techniques that will stand up to extremely heavy snow loads &
high wind storms, long after other homes have failed because of their limited
integral strength.
Our wind resistant homes for tropical areas include high impact wind velocity resistant windows (155 mph) & 2x6 exterior pressure treated stud walls 16” on center with special galvanized nails & are anchored by our structural steel connectors. “Cement” siding & metal roofing are also available to make your home fire-proof & maintenance free.
