An Overview of a Formworks Home ... page 3

There was a day when homes were passed down from generation to generation, but this has not been especially true in recent years. Most homes built in the last century are in a constant state of re-building that we call "maintenance." Rot, insect infestations, water damage, simple wear and tear, and a host of other evils are the culprits as they force the homeowner to constantly expend time, energy, and money caulking, painting, re-roofing, fumigating, and combating decay.

Formworks Homes are one easy solution to this problem of constant maintenance and, as opposed to treated lumber, insecticides and other chemical solutions, the basic structure of Formworks Homes do not contain toxins potentially harmful to humans, or any material that is known to "out-gas" like treated lumber.

The Formworks structural life-span is rated at 200-1000 years. That is five to ten times the structural life span of most homes. Plus - depending on what external features are chosen, the Formworks homeowner can reasonably expect a reduction of ninety-percent (90%) or more of the maintenance that is required on a conventional home of the same size.
