our story.
Imagine a scenario where a team of highly-skilled and respected engineers challenged one another to create a new safer and more efficient method of building a home. Now imagine that these same engineers are trained in the inspection and repair of generators and steam and combustion turbines which are used in the most important and expensive nuclear facilities around the world. These engineers must be precise to within a micron. When a facility goes off-line the owner stands to lose untold dollars. The engineers’ job is to get the facility up and running – with no mistakes allowed.
Imagine applying this scientific approach to the construction of homes utilizing specialized computers, programs (e.g. Ansys) and testing. The setting would appear to be more like a combination of a laboratory and an automated factory than a traditional home site. Well, that day has come!
Two of the most significant purchases an individual makes in their lifetime are their home and their vehicle. Their vehicle is built in a factory utilizing sophisticated tools and procedures and is delivered with a trusted warranty and service we have learned to depend on receiving. Why shouldn’t your home be built with the same attention to detail, safety and longevity utilizing high technology production and service systems? If your home is your castle why don’t they last that long anymore?
When Europeans visit the United States they are astounded by our stick-built building process. They are accustomed to homes which were built in the 1300s and 1400s and are still around and being lived in today. Why are our homes not built to survive the wear and tear and disasters that hundreds and thousands of years will bring?
Our goal at AllProof Precision Homes is to alter the homebuilding game utilizing improved construction methods and new forms of materials. The end result is a product (the home) which makes heroes out of the builders and makes the home buyers and their families feel safe when it comes to making the largest and most important purchase of their lives.
So now the engineers team with the award-winning scientists from Argonne National Laboratory, a U.S. government facility in Argonne, Illinois. The Argonne scientist responsible for the discovery of one of the components (Ceramicrete) is Arun Wagh [insert hyperlink to bio], who holds more than 14 U.S. patents and has additional pending applications on which he is a named inventor, was named IPLAC Inventor of the Year (2006). The Intellectual Property Law Association of Chicago (IPLAC) is the oldest intellectual property association in the country. Originally founded in 1884 as "The Patent Law Association," IPLAC is a not-for-profit organization whose more than 1025 members include lawyers and other professionals practicing in the intellectual property field, including patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, unfair competition and related areas.
Wagh has since teamed with Tony Collins, Chairman and Founder of AllProof Precision Homes, the prior owner of Turbine Generator Maintenance (TGM) and a licensed engineering graduate of the prestigious Georgia Institute of Technology. TGM performs turnkey inspections and repairs on steam turbines, combustion turbines, generators and associated equipment for the majority of segments within the utility and heavy industrial markets. The company has annual revenues of $30MM and a list of satisfied clients worldwide. Collins is the new licensee for Ceramicrete for its use in the three broad categories of construction, infrastructure and manufacturing. Wagh and Collins have been working on the applications to Collins' licensed categories as well as in perfecting construction methods in making the structures more affordable. This is unlike his various competitors, many of whom have a great product but are priced out beyond the norm for mainstream uses and therefore not competitive.
Ceramicrete is stronger than concrete, is fire resistant and withstands both tropical and below-freezing temperatures, the developers said; it keeps homes in arid regions cool, and those in frigid regions warm. The material dries in minutes, whereas concrete can take hours or days. Ceramicrete is made from an environmentally friendly mix of locally available chemicals, according to the developers. It consists of sand or sandy soil, ash, magnesium oxide and potassium phosphate, which is a biodegradable element in fertilizer. So even if Ceramicrete were to decompose (over a period of thousands of years), it would revitalize the soil.
AllProof Precision Homes utilizes a true building system. Our house works as a unit. The foundation can be poured/set and built on in the same day thus saving contractors an immense amount of time. The wall systems and windows work together. Normal building codes are built on static equations (algebra) of square feet multiplied by static force and do not take into account the entire system (or home). Calculating how they all work as one unit becomes calculus or finite load analysis (how much something will bend at any given location). This process is used for aircraft, nuclear turbines, and automobiles but historically has not been used for homes – until now.
A new addition to the Collins' team is Neil Eisner, recently the president and COO of Transeastern Homes. Neil Eisner brings over twenty years of big-builder experience to this team of brilliant engineers and scientists. As part of his past duties at Transeastern, Neil helped create a telecommunications company, a title and mortgage company and a real estate marketing company. In the real estate business for 20 years, Neil was also one of the owners and operators of Century Marketing International, LLC (CMI), a real estate sales & marketing company specializing in sophisticated sales and marketing strategies for builders and developers in single family, multi-family, condo/hotel and condo conversion sales. Recently Neil accepted the position of CEO of AllProof Precision Homes beginning January 1, 2007.
The combined founding team of AllProof Precision Homes includes Stephen Zadrick (Founder and CEO of CenterPoint LLC) and Andrew Young (SVP, Business Development) as well as the entire CenterPoint team which are all on board to offer this Home of the Future to CenterPoint's clients, builders and developers nationwide. CenterPoint is also the provider of financing for developers purchasing AllProof Homes.
