PAHS REPRODUCIBLE BUILDING SYSTEMS
BUILD THE WORLD'S MOST ADVANCED EARTH SHELTERS FOR A LIVING! The RMRC Reproducible Building System (above) is the culmination of over 10 years of our research and actual construction experience. Thus, it is the most practical, easy-to-build, cast-in-place concrete construction method available. Arched roof cement forms are used to supplement standard basement cement forms for casting concrete earth sheltered 16 x 24 feet (4.88 x 7.31 meter) modules. The PAHS modules can be laid out in many different arrangements as individual residences, town houses, apartments, or commercial buildings. Standardized openings provide inter-module access, along with windows and doors. It uses conventional materials, and requires only a small construction crew. Its modular nature produces fast, efficient, and cost effective construction as required by today's building environment. The Building System comes complete with the manual set, Plans for the arched roof cement forms, and a set of house plans that can be applied to the many other module arrangements or used directly, and a non-exclusive license to build this home using the RMRC Building System. Also included are: PAHS recommendations; layout examples; engineering coordination recommendations; Data recovery examples showing rebar size and placement calculations. Several checklists and organizational aids simplify bidding, and construction. These include: the Building Layout Checklist; the Materials Check List; Order of Construction Checklist; Calculating Cement Volumes method; and a Computing Earth Volumes computer program. This purchase includes a license to build an unlimited number of structures using this versatile RMRC Building System. The complete system is designed to make every aspect of building as easy and cost effective as possible.
(Plans and manuals are the same as those listed above, however, with this order the buyer receives permission to reproduce the buildings over and over.)
