A need for evolution
• Worldwide, over the last centuries Home Construction has been made with concrete or with wood frames.
• The use of both systems is diminishing very fast, since people around the world is looking for better alternatives.
Sunway Homes
Industrializes the
Homebuilding Industry
The use of wood frames in home construction is diminishing very
fast due to the following reasons
• Increase in wood prices.
• Decrease in wood quality.
Lower wood quality and higher wood prices make public look for
better home framing systems
Wood frames: A stick at the time, a nail at the time
•Highly qualified labor required.
•Difficulty on quality control.
•Lower wood quality.•Higher cost.•Higher maintenance required. •Termites and fungus problems (black mold)
The other competition
Light Gauge Structures
SSunway Homes can be
assembled only one way . . . the right one!
Sunway Homes: A fast and efficient Construction
System
• Straight and plumb walls are easily achieved because steel is
straight and dimensionally
stable.

Fire safetyFire is the main
cause of accidental deaths in the
American Homes. The steel frame of a Sunway Home will not contribute as fuel to a burning
home.This is a major
contribution to save lives.

Interior load bearing walls
are not required in
Sunway Homes, which allows for unlimited design options during
the initial construction and future
remodeling.

Environmental
Importance• To build an
average house it is necessary to
cut 8 to 10 mature trees.
A typical Sunway Home
utilizes the steel of 6 to 10
recycled cars.
Properly insulated steel structured Sunway Homes are capable of saving 50% or more of the cost of heating and cooling versus a conventional wood framed home, this results in the conservation of valuable energy resources and the lowering of the emission of hazardous carbon monoxide and other destructive contaminants into the atmosphere.
