Category-5 is a homebuilding system designed for 21st century storms, floods and fires, and for resilience in the face of climate change. It delivers great strength and survivability in a durable, extremely flexible and good looking package.

Our approach to climate security is based on the feature-by-feature answers we’ve found to the challenges confronting our clients. In tandem, they offer a coherent, field-tested strategy for surviving and thriving under modern conditions.

We reject “thinking-as-usual” responses to climate threats because piecemeal and magic bullet solutions aren't solutions at all. True resilience requires bringing together the most effective and most available technologies, and applying them in harmony with site conditions at all scales. Familiar methods mean contractors are easy to find, work can be timely, and costs better controlled. Integrated with their natural contexts and focused on combating severe weather, our buildings can assure greater efficiency and survivability than any alternative.

Category-5 Partners is pleased to offer planning and builder support for construction of this unique system, including step-by-step guidance for owners, engineers and qualified contractors, and services related to specifying and purchasing its elements.
