entrepreneur Steven Schurmann, who earlier this year opened
the 1st USA based Villa in a Box™ Plant in Alabaster,
Alabama says his products can better withstand strong
winds, water and fires than traditional building materials.

1,200-degree blow torch on it. (The Birmingham News/Tamika

And

With
multiple plans and sizes, our attractive solutions help homeowners
feel comfortable knowing their home – their biggest investment
– will resist the elements, and provide their families a safe,
healthy environment in which to grow up and prosper. Villa in a Box™ & PowerBoard™
is 100% green and environmentally friendly.
A Global Solution
Throughout
the world there are areas in need of affordable housing. All
corners of the world, from the impoverished and struggling
Nigeria to war-torn Afghanistan, and other corners of the
world, the need for housing systems that are affordable, reliable,
and easy to construct, are great.
Villa in a Box™ & PowerBoard™
is an ideal solution for such situations.
For
less than $5,000 U.S. Government agencies, aid organizations,
and private businesses can give the gift of safe shelter to
families.
The
price points are ideal for organizations trying to quickly
build mass housing, rebuild in war-torn nations, and for individuals
seeking to improve their life through microloans.
Villa
in a Box™ can get people off the streets and into homes
of their own, letting people in third-world nations experience
the uplifting foundation that is home ownership.
Factories
and micro factories can be established in impoverished or
struggling regions, not only eliminating the shipping costs
and times, but creating entrepreneurship, jobs, and opportunities
for the local workforce.
The Villa in a Box™ & PowerBoard™
Building System can indeed create a better future.
An Emergency Solution
In
August, 2005, Hurricane Katrina ripped across Florida, picked
up steam, and slammed into Louisiana and Mississippi. The
levees broke, and the United States faced the greatest natural
disaster in its history.
We
all remember the images. The homeless, people fleeing, those
trapped by rising waters. We also remember the rows upon rows
of mobile homes – great temporary shelter, but at what cost?
Villa in a Box™ & PowerBoard™
is the ideal emergency housing solution. It is fast to put
up and far more durable than a mobile home. It is fire resistant,
wind resistant, and won’t be damaged by water. Mold and mildew
won’t develop, so it is healthier.
And
at price points starting at under $5,000, it is more affordable than the emergency mobile home housing offered by FEMA.
Our
factories can quickly produce Villa's in a Box™, or for
a very affordable price, turnkey factories or micro factories
can be built in ravaged areas, turning out much needed shelter
right on the scene – eliminating the need and costs for shipping.
Affordable and durable. What more can you ask for in emergency and/or
permanent housing?
The Villa in a Box™ & PowerBoard™
Building System manufactured
by POWERCONCRETE™Building Technologies Inc. is as well mold
and termite resistant and remains flameless at 1.200 degrees.
The company’s Villa in a Box™ & PowerBoard™
System will not break under extreme conditions. To demonstrate
these facts, CEO Steven Schurmann called the Fire Department
of Cahaba Valley in Birmingham, Alabama to make a live demonstration
of the company’s products.
Who
knows more about fires and fire safety than professional firefighters,
right? If anyone can burn it or destroy it with water they
can, right?
Wrong.
Fire
Marshall Sam Johnson and Captain John Ray, witnessed by six
firefighters and one police officer, did their best to burn
through PowerBoard™ in a live test. After 3 weeks under water nobody
at the Fire Department was able to break the company’s PowerBoard™. Even at open fire
of 1.200 to 1.800 degrees the PowerBoard™ remained flameless
and could not be destroyed.
The
conclusion of these men, whose very jobs are to fight fires
and save lives: “Everyone should use this product in their
homes and buildings”.
The Villa in a Box™ System
can withstand up to 1.200 degrees of direct flame. The fire
will not alter its structural integrity. This gives it a fire
rating for up to four hours. And it does not require expensive
sheathing or toxic chemical treatment to achieve this rating.
But
there’s more to the safety angle. High winds? No problem.
The Villa in a Box™ & PowerBoard™
Building System is rated to withstand
winds of up to 250 miles per hour.
Besides
wind and fire there is flooding, which is another problem.
Even if a house or building remains erect, the gypsum board,
wood framing, and other wood components are a mess. They rot,
mildew, grow mold and must be discarded. That is why the
Villa in a Box™ & PowerBoard™
Building System is
the solution for areas prone to flooding.
The
recent test, verified by the Cahaba Valley Fire and Emergency
Rescue District, demonstrated that even after a week soaking
in water, the professional fire fighters could not break the
PowerBoard™.
It did not become brittle and it did not become water logged.
In other words, the structural integrity of
the Villa in a Box™ & PowerBoard™
Building
System did
not change! It’s impact resistance
remained intact and couldn’t be damaged by professional fire
fighters even though it has been kept under water for 3 weeks and thrown into fire at 1.200 to 1.800
degrees.
It’s not just the firefighters
who are believers. At the 9th May presentation of the
American General Contractors Association (AGC) of Birmingham,
witnessed by CEO Henry Hagood, 150 general contractors, and
even reporters, the Villa in a Box™ & PowerBoard™
Building System remained cool even after
being applied directly to fire.
And
when dipped in water, the water remained completely clear.
There was no particulation of the concrete and no altering
of the structural integrity.
And
the Villa in a Box™ & PowerBoard™
Building System is
healthy. Unlike wood, it won’t rot. It will not attract termites
and other pests. It won’t mildew and it will resist mold and
fungus. It is free of dangerous asbestos and silica.
The
experts say it is safe. They say homes should be built with
the Villa in a Box™ & PowerBoard™ Building System. That’s from the people
whose job is to save lives.
General
contractors – the builders themselves – are impressed by the
tests they’ve witnessed first-hand. It doesn’t get more credible
than the AGC.
And
the Villa in a Box™ & PowerBoard™
Building System is healthy and will give your family
a safe environment in which to live, play, and grow.
CEO, Steven Schurmann
said: “When contractors use the company’s building system,
Insurance rates should be reduced drastically and home owners
would feel much safer if caught in a hurricane or tornado.”
Schurmann plans to
meet with the organizers of home owners
hurricane insurance initiative to present the company’s products
and technology solutions to their board, which is seeking
a way to lower Insurance rates for residents in coastal areas.

and the use of precast as well as Man made materials.

privacy, luxury and comfort. Based on clients request

addition, each residence is a fully furnished design
masterpiece, and breaths elegance and charm as well
as an overwhelming sense of hospitality: Limestone marble
and ceramic tiles combined in flooring and staircases,
hand-frescoed walls, classic covered or ornamented ceilings,
halogen lights and low light wall sconces, chandeliers
and candlesticks, arches and columns. All craftily brought
together to create the most memorable rooms. The residences
offer a state of the art Kitchen with all the utensils,
and a wash machine and dryer.
|
 |
The
Bachelor Residence:
The
one or two bedroom, and one or two bathroom Villa is
best described as a sophisticated neoclassic with special,
select European accents. Some architectural elements
were incorporated, such as precast walls, illuminated
niches and Tuscany style columns to provide design focal
points.
Tile
flooring with mosaic throughout the main living areas
creates a warm, yet classically tailored background
for varied furnishings and accessories.
