Sustainable Housing
Step into a new era of sustainable living with our cutting-edge Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs/Casitas). These homes redefine energy efficiency, exceeding stringent standards with super insulation and the potential to go off the grid with solar panels.
The wall finishes boast award-winning eco-friendly ceramic plaster, offering abuse resistance, toxin-free composition, and mold/mildew prevention. The seamless monolithic wrap of both interior and exterior coatings creates a leak-free, resilient home, setting a new standard for sustainable, efficient living.
Welcome to a home that not only meets but exceeds expectations in every aspect of modern living.
G-HOUSE Quality
Sustainable Design for
Maximum Energy Efficiency
G-House building solutions are designed to maximize energy efficiency,
offering a range of features that reduce energy costs while enhancing indoor comfort.
From superior insulation to durable, weather-resistant materials, each component is engineered to optimize performance,
making homes more sustainable and cost-effective year-round.
Energy Efficiency
Your Home was designed, engineered, and constructed in conformance to u.S. Department of Energy (DOE) guidelines for extraordinary levels of excellence and quality.
This Home meets or exceeds the minimum criteria for the following:

INCREDIBLE RESISTANCE
Natural disasters are becoming
more frequent thoughout the world
• Lives, homes and businesses are lost
• Billions are spent rebuilding
• Insurance companies pay out billions and raise premiums
FIRE
Our material is resistant to fire and won’t burn.
FLOOD
G-House use structures are designed to survive flooding unlike typical construction
HURRICANE
G-House can resist 245 MPH sustained windspeed.
EARTHQUAKE
Our structure is designed to resist Zone 4 Earthquakes.
FIRE RESISTANT
Heat and flame resistant
An average surface fire on the forest floor might have flames reaching 1 meter in height
and can reach temperatures of 800°C (1,472°F) or more
The fire burned 96,949 acres The fire destroyed 1,643 structures, killed three people, and prompted the evacuation of more than 295,000 people.

Interior Fire Test
Intertek Testing labs 2008
Our PlasterMax® by Gigacrete passed NFPA 286 a 15-minute Corner Burn Test at 1,400 degrees F as a Gypsum Board replacement over EPS foam insulation.
Our PlasterMax® by Gigacrete NFPA 286 at 1/8” (3 mm) thickness, zero smoke or combustion. (the official 15-minute test was stopped after 22 minutes without failure)
Also passed, ASTM E-84 and ASTM E-136 non-combustible material tests
15-minute Burn Test

Zero Smoke or combustion
Flood RESISTANT
Water and mold resistance
G-HOUSE structures are designed to survive flooding unlike typical construction.
No removal of gypsum board, fiberglass insulation or rotting lumber
Our coatings remain intact even submerged in salt water for 30 days.

Water Column Test
Column is epoxied to the our StuccoMax® over 1” low density 0.90lb EPS foam and filled with 60” of head pressure. Substrate foam is removed beneath water column to see if water droplets or penetration occurs.
Test as seen in photo is now 9 years old with NO water penetration!
Under pressure of 5ft water since March 28th, 2012
and still ongoing at G-home.
COMPARED TO:
Synthetic stuccos all of which totally collapse and fail within minutes.
NOTE: EPS foam is removed on underside exposing back side of our StuccoMax®
G-HOUSE
Our StuccoMax® Water resistance applications:
ASTM E331-00 WATER INFILTRATION
• Exterior water-resistant stucco coating replacing synthetics
• Higher impact and abrasion than all known Stucco’s
• Ideally suited to Hurricane zones where water resistance and impact resistance is critical
• Water resistant wall finishes indoor and outdoor
• Below grade applications
• Total submersion including seawater
• Will not support mold and mildew growth
• Protection of concrete including exposure to sea water
HURRICANE RESISTANT

Structural Steel Studs Slide into
pre-cut foam shapes
Pre-engineered, ICC approved galvanized double steel studs make patented connectors precut for accuracy with no jobsite waste. Hurricane and seismic tie down anchors connect the roof into the foundation.
Double 2x4 stud panel to panel connectors = 4x4 construction
Truss connection to foundation
Continuous steel all- thread connects the roof trusses through the panels and into the foundation
Conduits are pre-cut into panels on both sides of each stud location ready to pull down wiring from above.

Extreme engineered brackets
Heavy gauge welded steel roof brackets and trusses keep the roof secured to the foundation with steel all-thread rods.
Fast installation
Structural Steel Studs Slide into

Installation off of plumbing is speeded up with additional labor savings.
Plumbing is now locked in place and insulated from heat or freezing.
G-House StuccoMax®
Mixed and applied on site
Easily mixed and applied with conventional plaster and stucco tools
Crystalline cement technologies NO Portland cement NO silica sand Non-Combustible
Extreme performance coatings designed to outperform all known plasters and stuccos where abuse resistance and low-cost maintenance is important
Local work created
We created the first construction crew in Africa
We only trained this man from California for a few hours. He flew to Ghana, put a crew together of young men and they built this mission house in a matter of weeks.
Almost completed, minus standing seam metal roof
by local roofer
Completed from scratch in weeks with local unskilled labor,
this would have taken a year using their conventional building methods.
This house will use 60% less energy than conventional block construction.
