Homes That Protect Your Client’s Family and Investment

For generations, homes in the United States have been built the same way—with wood, nails, bricks, and mortar—but with growing economic and environmental threats—hurricanes, tornadoes, flooding, wildfires, there is a need for a better solution.

At Everlasting Construction Services, we build structures using an advanced system of insulated panels reinforced with concrete, creating structures that are stronger, more energy-efficient, more cost-effective, and built to withstand the test of time. This protects families and investments with state-of-the-art engineering that ensures safety, durability, and peace of mind.

The Unique Technology

What We Provide for You:

  • A house envelope that is built like a lightweight concrete bunker combined with the insulating power of an ice chest

  • Walls, floors, & roofs made with Structural Concrete Insulated Panel (SCIP) System. This is made of:

    • 5” Core of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) Insulation.

    • Galvanized high strength steel mess & wire trusses 

    • 3” Concrete (4000+ psi)

  • A building system that exhibits an equivalent R Value of over 30, these structures meet the Department of Energy (DOE) Zero Energy Ready Program.

  • Integration of state-of-the-art technologies: mechanical, electrical, plumbing, automation, and concrete.

  • Exterior envelope waterproofing and finishes, including window and door installation

  • A product that is ICC (International Code Council) certified and meets the latest building codes (IBC 2021).

How You Benefit:

  • Having a structure that is resilient to CAT5 Hurricanes, Tornados, Floods, Fires, Wildfires, Earthquakes and Ballistic Impacts

  • Monolithic Design tolerates soil movements

  • Durable & Sustainable (will last for generations)

  • Healthy & Comfortable (Protection from termites, bugs & allergens)

  • Energy Efficiency

  • No slanted roofs required. So, flat roofs can be reclaimed as balconies and other living spaces.

  • Lowest cost housing solution in the long run by far:

    • 60% less energy consumption

    • 40% cheaper to insure 

    • 50% less maintenance costs (no rotting, leak issues, unstable foundations,….)

  • Higher appraised & resale value

FAQs

Insulated Concrete Panel: A Polystyrene core, reinforced with a steel mesh and sandwiched by two layers of concrete—the toughness of concrete, yet the insulating power of an ice chest.

  • Structural Concrete Insulated Panel (SCIP) is a building system made of a reinforced insulated core sandwiched between two layers of concrete.

    Think of it as an ice chest made of reinforced concrete. Unlike traditional concrete which is a poor insulator, this type of construction keeps cold in during the summer and heat in during the winter. It offers superior structural resilience.

  • A gray shell structure constructed with insulated concrete consists of the walls, floors, and roof. This structure is built on top of a poured foundation.

    This includes the exterior envelope waterproofing and finishes, including window and door installation.

  • Because there are less interfaces (trades people involved in foundation, framing, insulation, siding, and roofing) engaged in the building project, a typical gray shell can take less time than a traditional build depending on the complexity.

  • Any type and style of home can be built with SCIP construction.

    Depending on your custom home builder, the gray shell can be finished anyway the customer wishes. The gray shell is a blank canvas for customization and design. A variety of exterior and interior finishes can be applied to this type of construction.

  • A Department of Energy (DOE) Zero Energy Ready Home (ZERH) is a home that's so energy efficient that a renewable energy system can offset most or all of its annual energy use. A SCIP structure typically offers a HERS Index in the low 40s (versus a HERS Index of 100 for a traditional wood framed house).

    The HERS Index is a nationally recognized system that evaluates a home’s energy performance. To qualify as Zero Energy Ready Home (ZERH) the HERS Index needs to be under 47.

  • There are four main types of concrete structures that can be built: Cinder blocks (CMUs), Insulated Concrete Forms (ICFs), 3D Printed Concrete Structures, and Structural Concrete Insulated Panels (SCIP).

    Cinder blocks or Cinderblock Masonry Units (CMU) and other concrete materials are considered poor insulators because they have a low R-value, meaning they don't effectively resist heat transfer, making them prone to letting cold air in during winter and hot air in during summer; essentially, they readily conduct heat through their porous structure, requiring additional insulation to improve thermal efficiency in a building. SCIP construction provides built in insulation that avoids these issues. Non-air-conditioned garages tend to stay cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.

    In addition, CMUs are only used for walls, not for floors nor roofs. There is no monolithicor single, integrated structure characteristics as with SCIP construction. Therefore, there is a significant loss in resilience. CMUs are prone to crack because of the lack of tight reinforcement. SCIP structures are reinforced with a galvanized, high strength, 2x2” steel mesh.  

     Insulated Concrete Forms or ICF involves a system of interlocking hollow foam blocks or panels, stacked together to create the walls of the building. Concrete is then poured into the cavities of the blocks or panels to create a solid structure. 

    Similar to CMUs, ICFs are used only for the walls, not for floors nor roofs. There is no monolithic characteristics as with SCIP construction. Again, there is a significant loss in resilience. When a SCIP structure is completed, the resulting is a monolithic or single, integrated structure. In SCIP construction the floor, ceilings, walls, and roofs make up the entire envelope of the house.

    3D Printed Concrete Structures are like Cinderblock Masonry Units (CMU) in that they have poor insulating power. Typically, these structures are limited to one story houses, due to poor performance against flexural and sheer forces. Even though it is fun to watch the building of these structures, they are the least resilient of the concrete structures. This is furthest away from a monolithic structure that can be built.

    Insulated Concrete or SCIP is leading technological innovation of the housing market.
