Net Zero DRS, LLC.

DISASTER RESISTANT STRUCTURES NetZero can help you design and build a concrete home for nearly the same cost as wood. Our ICF ( insulated concrete form ) construction is on the leading edge of technology. NetZero DRS is the premier ICF ( insulated concrete forms ) builder in California. We build ICF constructed homes and structures for private and commercial use. Insulated concrete forms (ICFs) are cast-in-place concrete walls that are sandwiched between two layers of insulation material, usually expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam insulation forms. The foam blocks are stacked as interlocking blocks, connected with steel reinforcing rods. They offer well-insulated, airtight, energy-efficient building enclosures. Also, ICFs are a great fit for regions prone to severe weather because of their strong impact resistance. What is a Disaster Resistant Structure? The answer quite simply is a structure that can better withstand the elements both man made and Mother Nature induced. Though concrete construction is not a new form of building, it certainly has expanded with ICF, (Insulated Concrete Forms). Concrete homes have the capacity to withstand fires, high winds related to hurricanes and tornadoes, impact from flying debris also related to hurricanes and tornadoes along with seismic activity from earthquakes. As you peruse our website you will see for yourself examples of concrete homes surviving all of these conditions and more with little or no damage to the structure. Take a look for yourself.
