Ravasi Gharb  is a building system which extends the protection of your home against natural and accidental damages while keeping the cost of construction below the traditional types, such as wood and metal frame.  Ravasi Gharb withstands the damages from hurricanes, tornadoes, termites, flooding and even structural fire.

Hurricane Proof Homes: Because of the unique construction of a  Ravasi Gharb home, the completed structure is able to withstand the high velocity gusts, and extended mass baring load subjected to homes and other structures during hurricane force winds and heavy rains. Researchers for the Wind Engineering Research Center at Texas Tech University say that concrete walls are strong enough to withstand flying debris from hurricanes and tornadoes. According to their findings, homes made of concrete are much more storm-resistant than houses constructed of wood and steel. "The results of the tests were not surprising, but they were dramatic," says Donn Thompson, PCA's residential technology program manager. "Concrete walls meet both the criteria needed to protect occupants in a severe storm-structural integrity and missile shielding ability."

If safety is your primary concern with you new home, nothing currently wins over the long-lasting construction techniques used in storm and hurricane proof  Ravasi Gharb homes.

Termite and Insect Proof: Without the necessary food given to termites by wood construction (even treated woods do not provide guaranteed protection),  Ravasi Gharb homes offer no feeding or breeding grounds for termites and other home destroying pests.

In most areas termites swarm to find and develop new colonies during warm windless nights. The Formosan termite can eat through lead, asphalt, rubber and even plastic to seek out food. Queens can lay over 2000 eggs in a single day, and live 15 to 30 years! It is estimated that the Formosan termite will continue to cost home owners and other consumers over $1 billion dollars in damages every year (this estimate given by the U.S Department of Agriculture).

As an eco-friendly termite proof home construction technique,  Ravasi Gharb are manufactured with all recycled plastics and steel - no forest products are used. The  Ravasi Gharb termite proof home construction system is safe and friendly to humans and wildlife, giving your home and investment complete protection without resulting to the use of harmful and dangerous chemicals, which fail to give long-term protection.

Earthquake proof: The west coast of the United States doesn't often face the devastating hurricanes recently landing on Louisiana, Texas, Florida and other east coast and southern coast areas. While these storms do threaten (Oregon does mean hurricane in French after all), a greater concern is often the earth itself.

In Southern California a two-story research complex was built with the  Ravasi Gharb System, jointly funded by the National Science Foundation, Southern California Edison, Inc, and the University of California. Since that time it has been struck twice by earthquakes registering 6.5 and 6.9 on the Richter Scale. After complete earthquake structural testing, certified engineers found zero structural effects after these, and many other smaller earthquakes.

Daily Energy Saving Construction: While the recent hurricane disasters of Louisiana, Texas, and Florida still loam in our minds, as well as the earthquakes of Seattle and San Francisco, or the fires of Southern California and Colorado, day to day living can be just as costly of the long term. Without due diligence on the part of a new-home buyer, unseen hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars could disappear out the window and less-conspicuous openings in the years to come.

Leaking ducts, inadequate attic insulation, poorly protected pipes, single-pane windows, and ineffectively sealed joints: These can all conspire to give your new palace a poor "thermal performance" -- an industry buzzword loosely translating to "painfully high energy bills." Constructing a home with the Ravasi Gharb system insures that your air-conditioner and heater are virtually off most of the year, no matter where you live or what temperature extremes your seasonal weather can bring. It doesn't take a hurricane to blow your money out of the window.

This may sound like a dream, but after building homes in the Mojave Desert, where the winter is climated by freezing temperatures and snow, the summers are escalated by temperatures as high as 115 degrees with 128 m.p.h. winds, we know what we are talking about.

The  Ravasi Gharb construction system offers many more benefits and cost savings. We are trying to list them all on our website, but if you have questions about the hurricane, earthquake, and termite protection of the Ravasi Gharb system, or something else we may not have addressed please don't hesitate to contact us.
