These compact, high-performance structures offer rapid build times and superior durability, perfect for homeowners looking to expand their living space or generate rental income.
Rapid Construction for Your Coral Gables Property
Building a new ADU or guest house in Coral Gables demands a construction method that is both rapid and minimally disruptive. Our Structural Concrete Insulated Panels (SCIP) excel here, allowing small footprint structures to be erected extremely fast. The panelized system means less on-site chaos and a significantly reduced construction timeline. With little to no heavy lifting equipment required, SCIP minimizes site equipment needs, making it an ideal choice for properties with limited access or tight spaces common in the older, established neighborhoods of Coral Gables. This efficiency translates directly into faster occupancy for homeowners.
Engineered for Coral Gables' Unique Building Demands
Coral Gables, within Miami-Dade County, lies in Florida's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ), necessitating the strictest wind-borne debris and wind-load requirements. Now Eco Home's SCIP construction is inherently designed to meet these challenges, providing non-combustible faces, a self-extinguishing EPS core, and structural concrete rated at 4,000 PSI. This robust system ensures your new ADU or pool house is not only durable and resistant to hurricanes but also impervious to rot and termites, crucial for the local climate. Our structures are code-compliant via Technical Evaluation Reports and sealed by a Registered Design Professional.
