Rebuilding flood proof homes.

Because a monolithic thin shell concrete structure has no bearing walls it can withstand extreme forces with little or no damage. Elongating an arch for upper floors makes a home flood proof. Because threre are no air leaks less energy is required to hear and cool.

Rough plumbing any electrical etc as with any home only difference is that in a thin shell concrete home there are steel rods coming out of the foundation every six inches this is what the steel bars are tied to so as to form a cage.

Once the steel cage is tied it is only a matter of deciding what material to use to keep the concrete against the steel bar long enough to cure. In ancient times mounds of dirt would be used once the concrete cured the dirt would be dug out from under the hardened concrete and used again and again. For the homes being built in Port Charlotte / Northport, Florida a plastic coated type lathe will be used that will not rust.

Using metal studs you place the interior walls wherever you want since here are no load bearing walls any interior design can be accomplished.

Because of the design and strength of an arch a second story can easily be added either concrete or framed.
