The document discusses the challenges in the building industry, such as labor shortages, traditional building methods, and environmental issues, emphasizing the need for innovative solutions. It presents CBS's egis® system, which utilizes disaster-resistant composites and automated assembly techniques to improve construction efficiency and sustainability. The proposed approach aims to generate jobs, protect natural resources, and adapt building methods to local needs while addressing global housing deficits.

1. Appropriate Fit
Using Today’s
Technologies
to
Overcome Common
Building Problems
www.CBS-Homes.com

2. Current Conditions
• Labor intensive systems
– High cost skill trades, shortage of trained workers, poor workmanship,
inadequate supervision, inconsistent quality, energy inefficient, unmet
current needs, growing housing deficits - worldwide
• Building methods unchanged
– Escalating environmental damage, severe raw material cost cycles,
intermittent shortages, recurring disaster damage – resistance to change
• Constant pressure to build fast and cheap
– Overlooks innovation, relies on cheapest materials
– Little industry effort to improve construction methods
– No concern for long term costs of building ownership
Traditional Complacency Maintains status quo
“I only do what I know” mentality

3. Implication - “No-changes in Sight”
• Labor Intensive – Old Methods – Low Cost Materials
– Means
• No immediate universal fix of deficits
– Implications
• No evolving large scale solution “We have always done it this
way”
– Consequences
• A continuing series of band aid solutions rising deficits & no
solutions
– Until the CBS Egis® Home
• Automated Assembly with Construction Optimized Composites

5. A Simple Solution from CBS
• Replace traditional building materials with
– Disaster resistant composites
• Replace old building methods with
– Factory panelized buildings
• Use automotive assembly line production methods
– For rapid production
• Erect protective building shells for builders to finish
– Existing workers finish & deliver buildings
– No change in their tools, materials, or methods
– No retraining

6. Purpose
• Establish Manufacturing Base
– Generate jobs, income, & taxes
• Set up Construction Technology Centers
– Local population rebuilds country
– With rapid assembly & erection
– Trained on production line
• Overall strategy
– Adapt the products and methods to exactly fit needs
– Use local architects and engineers to adapt the system
for local preferences
