Fortified Construction

We've taken the art and business of custom homebuilding to a higher level.
We’ve built over 200 Insulated Concrete Form (ICF) homes and many “Fortified for Safer Living” certified homes. We’ve won three international FIRST PLACE awards from ICF Builder Magazine for “Best Unlimited Residential ICF Project.” We are one of the few custom builders along the North and South Carolina coastline regularly building custom homes with both Insulated Concrete Form (ICF) wall systems and homes that meet the 150 MPH/CAT 3 Hurricane “Fortified for Safer Living” Certification. Both state insurance services in North and South Carolina have approved an automatic reduction on homeowner insurance rates for any FORTIFIED home. We have seen these discounts consistently reach 25% off of annual premiums, sometimes even more.
