CATEGORY-5

Category-5 is a comprehensive system for homebuilding based on a common sense approach to the hybrid threats from 21st century windstorms, floods and fire.

Its origins in feature-by-feature responses to climate and site conditions means that each element reflects a field-tested solution to a practical challenge. The system combines these proven techniques into a 360-degree specification for security.

Category-5’s approach is different from “building-as-usual” even though it’s comprised of well-known technologies. Familiar materials and methods mean it’s easier to find capable contractors, work is more timely, and costs are better controlled. But because of how they’re combined, the Category-5 system offers structures that are dramatically stronger, more durable and more survivable than conventional alternatives.

Category-5 is pleased to offer training and step-by-step guidance to qualified contractors and owners, in addition to custom building services.
