When compared with conventional construction methods, the Force 10 Engineered Building System is a better value because of the many standard features not supplied with most building systems used in the Caribbean or Latin America. Finished Force 10 buildings have the same appearance as conventionally constructed wood or masonry structures. Many fine examples can be seen in our Force 10 Gallery. With the addition of custom features, completed homes can match local architectural styles.
The exceptional value of a Force 10 home becomes clear after studying the earthquake and hurricane resistance that is built into and guaranteed with every structure. Very few, if any, conventionally constructed or system built buildings guarantee the structural integrity of their designs in hurricane or earthquake regions (see Engineering Certification). Force 10 homes have a 10 year structural warranty, as well as, a product component guarantee.
When comparing costs, the Force 10 building is typically less expensive to complete than a conventionally built structure that is built to an equivalent engineering standard and quality of finish. Insurance premiums are typically less costly than conventional construction. Force 10 utilizes very high quality materials that offer low maintenance as well as resistance to termites, fire and rot. After comparing all of the features, it is clear that Force 10 is the best choice for building in the Caribbean and Latin America.
