FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CBS Plans Business Technology Campus
One site synergizes research, manufacturing, and sales
August 1, 2005 -- Composite Building Structures, Ltd.
announced today plans to develop the first Business Technology Campus (BTC) in
South West Florida where products built to a higher standard can be developed,
produced, and immediately utilized in the building industry. Florida and
the Caribbean basin countries face unique environmental forces that call for
safer, stronger, longer lasting products to be combined into homes and offices
that better protect the inhabitants and that stand up better through hurricanes,
floods, tornadoes, termites, and earthquakes.
CBS Homes Florida, LLC has worked with manufactures of glass, windows, doors,
sheeting, insulation, and chemicals to create a core of parts needed to build
homes to a higher standard. Whether in a costal Disaster Mitigation
Zone (DMZ) or in densely populated areas, a new benchmark can be created in
partnership with insurance underwriters to evolve structures that qualify for
low cost insurance.
Progress and innovation need not be expensive and buildings from the BTC are
targeted to be considerably lower in price than buildings constructed with the
commonly used materials and methods. Enabling engineers from each
manufacturer to collaborate results in improvements, faster building, and lower
costs. When products have a ready market in a semi-complete wall panel,
marketing costs, sales expenses, warehousing, damage, and scrap is minimized and
the customer benefits.
Creating technology park for bio tech or computer development is expensive
and inventions must be licensed or transferred to others to produce. No
place in America are all of the manufacturers located at the same place.
This can be Florida's response to recent hurricane devastation that produces
immediate mitigation in a meaningful way throughout the state. With
Florida starting 211,000 new homes each year, automation is required to bring
the construction industry up to a par with automotive and petroleum automation.
The concrete block niche is only 14% of the total US framing market but
represents 32% of the money spent of external wall framing. Yet concrete
block homes take up to 9 months to deliver and require builders to provide a
large hedge against price increases to protect their margins. Concrete
block can't be automated and delivered in panels. Composite panels can
revolutionize building methods in hurricane and termite zones. Combining
innovative materials, designs, and methods enables new performance to be
achieved for the whole house structure.
By emulating what Henry Ford did in 1908 at River Rouge and automating the
automobile industry, he was able to lower the cost of cars by 58%, pay the
highest wages, and take prominence over the 502 other car makers during the same
period. That is what can happen with vision in the building industry.
The CBS BTC will provide high paying jobs for over 800 workers and be the
incubator for many small companies.

homes at a price that all who want to own a home can own a home contact James P.
Antonic, Managing Director.
