TEAMS, is convinced that this is a more efficient method by which to build residential housing. A better house, at a competitive price, would face an insatiable demand both nationally and abroad. On a price-competitive basis, TEAMS homes will be the best, energy-efficient, residential structures available today, incorporating TEAMS’ proprietary products. A team produces a product that includes the proprietary building products together with the ancillary support services.

The TEAMS product is a pre-engineered package (Walls, roof and floor), essentially the outer construction of a house, from floor to the peak of the roof. The product is comprised of steel studs; steel roof trusses, and expanded polystyrene insulation. Rigid expanded polystyrene is cut to fit around the studs and roof trusses, leaving no voids. Using these materials, TEAMS offers the best means of building a highly energy efficient, environmentally friendly, structurally sound, single-family / multiple family residential product. The TEAMS product is appropriate to all climates and provides a significantly enhanced ability for the homebuyer to control indoor air quality and comfort levels.

Competition

Traditional Brick & Mortar, Wood framed, steel framed and factory built homes represent TEAMS’ competition. Including the polystyrene insulation standard in the TEAMS home, the TEAMS house is price competitive and less costly than other system built homes. The energy efficient, environmentally friendly, green, structurally sound, easy to erect, non-toxic, non-allergenic structure has therefore, obvious marketing advantages over the competition.

Competitive Materials

In the process of developing its modular building system, TEAMS has conducted ongoing research into building systems. The principle materials used in the construction industry today are:

            Wood

            Engineered Wood Products

            Polystyrene

            Polyurethane

            Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)

            Steel

            Aluminum

            Concrete

One of the materials selected for use by TEAMS is steel, for its structural strength, dimensional stability, ease of mass production of components, price competitiveness, stability, and the fact it can be recycled. The primary drawback to steel, with its thermal bridging (e.g., car radiator effect of dissipating heat), has been overcome by the encapsulation of the structural steel exterior with expanded polystyrene insulation. Expanded polystyrene insulation is a very effective insulator (thermal, moisture and noise), dimensionally stable, and components made of it can be mass-produced.

In setting its design parameters, TEAMS determined that the house must be:

1.        AN EXTREMELY ENERGY-EFFICIENT MODEL

2.        SAFE FROM TOXIC ELEMENTS

3.        SEISMICALLY SAFE

4.        COMFORTABLE TO LIVE IN

5.        OF HIGH QUALITY CONSTRUCTION

6.        LOW IN MAINTENANCE

Now that we have your attention, Let us not fool ourselves. We will never in my lifetime or yours be able to fulfill the entire housing needs, but we can help to close the ever-increasing gap and increase the level of human comfort that would be beneficial to your requirements and the peoples needs. We now recommend you give us a call to see the video footage of our patented home brewed innovation of rapid house erection methodology, which impressed the Minister of housing and hope you as well irrespective of our viewpoints.

 We know there will always never be enough funds for any project but we assure you that within the emergency housing plan budget, with our transit camp house (built in four days) type we’ll get the shack mentality of our people radically reduced with astronomical spin-offs for the nation that will make you, the implementer look like the president. 

 We are currently negotiating costing, which we believe could reduce building cost up to half the price of normal building cost per m² for quality affordable housing. Machine implementation will be form part of our robust automated infrastructure placing delivery of packaged units, subject to material availability 24/7.

Do not hesitate to give us a call to view the Proto-type Housing Unit in Pelican Heights. I trust to hear from you soon for further enlightenment hereof and to conclude amicable and fruitful conclusions.
