AZoBuild, Australia : 7,000 Square Foot Building "Dried In" in 6 Days

Alternative Construction Company, is pleased to announce the completion of Phase II of the Academy for the Brilliant Child (ABC) school addition in McDonough, Ga. "The initial installation of the building shell was started only one week ago and the structure was completely 'dried in' in a matter of only six days," stated Stephen V. Williams, Alternative Construction Company Chairman of the Board. Mr. Williams further stated "the advantages of the ACTech Panel(TM) are easily seen in this building which has it all ... ease of construction, fast time to completion of the shell, environmentally friendly 'green' materials, low cost of heating and cooling, no measurable off gassing, and superior safety from storm and damaging winds. The awareness and market opportunity offered by the ACTech Panel(TM) is growing daily."

Dr. Noel Brown, former Director of the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) commented, "One of the challenges facing the United Nations and the World is 'decent shelter for all'". This is assuming even greater urgency, giving the continuing expansions of the human populations and the explosion of urban slums. That is why world leaders at the UN Millennium Summit resolved "By 2020 to have achieved a significant improvement in the lives of at least 100 million slum dwellers as proposed in the 'Cities Without Slums' initiative." Dr. Brown added, "That is why we are following with such interest the work of Alternative Construction Company which holds the promise of housing that is affordable, constructed rapidly, and environmentally friendly."

Alternative Construction Company, Inc. (ACC), possesses a unique and patented technology used in the design and manufacture of state-of-the-art alternative building systems that compete favorably against conventional materials such as lumber or bricks. Generically known as structural insulated panels (SIPs), ACC's viable and efficient construction solution, utilizing its structural insulated panel systems as an alternative to conventional wood based building products and SIPS, even concrete blocks, presents a "Green" building solution. Patented ACC SIPs are environmentally-friendly and easier to construct with -- not only saving labor cost and cutting construction time, but also reducing heating and cooling energy consumption by 30-50%. Most importantly, ACC SIPs have tested stronger than conventional concrete block or wood frame construction in hurricane tests and meet or surpass the most stringent wind, projectile and uplift codes in the nation levied by the 2006 Florida Building Code. As hurricane- and tornado-prone states establish new building codes and rebuild from recent weather disasters, ACC believes its' products will be in greater demand.
