EPS AND STEEL CONSTRUCTION  HAVE BEEN PROVEN FOR OVER 40 YEARS



Vitruvian is a full service green building system. Utilizing new technology,
new ideas and alternative materials, our mission is to provide the most
efficient building solutions for a seamless transition into the Green Age.

. Build Green, Without Extra Cost.

A DIRECT ALTERNATIVE TO WOOD FRAMING


Vitruvian believes that building envelope design is the most important contribution that can be made to protect the environment at this point in the Green Revolution.

Building in the Vitruvian way can be the equivalent of removing more than 80 million cars between now and 2030.

It is something that can be done with no additional cost but it pays the owner's back in reduced operating cost daily.

The essence of green building is creating structures that are far more efficient in their consumption of energy and water, and less wasteful in their use of materials than conventional buildings.

Savings through better products and efficiencies: Our custom wall and roof panels, made with EPS (Expaned PolyStyrene) and light gauge steel, combined with our proprietary software will cut-list and provide shop drawing accuracy to all elements of the structure and finishes. The result is an overall efficiency that will cut up to 20% of the cost of traditional constrution, at the same time providing a clean, green, healthy, and safe environment for the occupants and even the construction crew.

We offer a complete building package that will provide a completed, weather tight shell, that also provides the absolute lowest carbon footprint and extremely low energy bills for the life of the building. The more custom and complex the building, the more Vitruvian will benefit the project. By applying our technologies from start to finish it is possible to eliminate up to 20% of costs of traditional methods of construction.

Long-term environmental benefits: The materials used in the Vitruvian system have a double the life span of traditional wood framing. Thus, the material in the panels are recyclable and reusable. Because most of these parts have a screwed mechanical connection, this lends to easy assembly or disassembly compared to traditional construction or demolition. Vitruvian panels would never need to be diverted to a landfill, nor would they lose any of their structural or insulating properties over time.

Project transferability: Vitruvian has designed both software and machinery that are simple to operate; virtually any apprentice mechanic could become fluent in their operations within a few weeks time.

Environmental leadership: Vitruvian has brought together the design, engineering and manufacturing standards to forge a new path of acceptance in every City and County that before, was challenging to attain. The long-term benefits of creating this overall acceptance are immeasurable.

Creativity and other considerations: Vitruvian's automation encourages design flexibility. Once a building shell is designed, Vitruvian's patented software will actually build the wall itself in 3D, labeling each component and generating code to cut the materials. If the shell design happens to change, the 3D wall can be rebuilt in seconds and all of the data associated with it will update. This modern technology, coupled with flexible materials can adapt, but are not limited to traditional architecture. There are no design limitations.

Reducing pollution: America’s buildings represent more than 36% of our energy consumption and more than 30% of our green house gas emissions. If the estimated replacement and new construction between now and 2030 all used the Vitruvian process, it would be the equivalent of taking 91 million cars off the road.

Improving resource conservation, sustainability and improving energy efficiency: Through our customized software, we are able to accurately cut-list, not only the wall and roof panels that create our highly efficient envelope, but all of the other building materials that make up a structure. The result is an overall waste rate of less than 1% or 1/10 that of traditional construction methods.

Improving air and water quality: All Vitruvian materials produce zero off-gassing for the life of the building. Virtual jobsites enable Vitruvian to confront potential problems digitally (on-screen) rather than physically (in-field), insuring an efficient assembly. Like a tiger, saving reserve energy (resources) for the critical moment when it is needed most, in short bursts. Also, because of the lightweight building product, there is a huge reduction in the associated transportation costs, therefore minimizing green house gasses.

Innovation is the hallmark of the Vitruvian system. The idea of taking any design from any computer, directly to the manufacturing environment, with no required human intervention is the Vitruvian ideal. The simplicity and access to energy conservation empowers the end user to utilize these now accessible processes.

Vitruvian’s process management technology is available to the open market immediately. By initially adopting this technology in the first stages of construction, efficiencies can be realized throughout all aspects for every phase.

Vitruvian has not only created a new use for a material, but a manageable process and a new way of thinking about how a new paradigm may help humanity and the environment.
