“Summary of the
Invention”
Product
The All Wall
System – a stay-in-place concrete form used to build homes and
commercial buildings.
The All Wall
System is used to the Home Buyers advantage
As an ALTERNATE to:
Concrete Block
construction
Tilt Up Construction
Wood Framing
Metal Framing
Styrofoam blocks (ICF)
SIP
Concrete Block construction
Cast in Place construction (removable form)
Tilt Up Construction
Uniqueness
Because of “All Wall” a home that requires Load Bearing Concrete
walls can now be built by one carpenter
and as many laborers as you want to meet project time schedules.
The walls of a 3,000 SF home can easily be constructed in a few days.
Principal object of this Patented Invention
.. is to provide a method
of constructing a building component that is used to
build concrete walls
with as
much unskilled labor as possible.
Only one skilled person/carpenter is required to manage one to 5 homes
when
building within a localized development.
Benefits of the All Wall System that makes it different
from the other load bearing wall products on the market:
All Wall is easy to install because it is light weight and requires no
special fasteners
Everything you need is at the local hardware store
The panels fasten together with concrete
The concrete is placed into the form once it is erected on the slab, or stem-wall, at the job site.
All Wall makes a concrete wall that is totally
code
compliant.
The plans do not take special engineers to design the home,
you can use the same architects, or engineers
that you have been using.
All Wall has high insulation properties that are significantly better than
Foam Blocks (ICFs)
per a National Lab that does research on wall systems for the Dept of
Energy (DOE)
All Wall has high thermal mass properties because the interior of the walls
are concrete.
All Wall has structural qualities which exceed standard block construction (
approx. 2-5 times)
Wood Construction (approx. 20 times)
Lt Gage steel framing (approx. 10 times)
All Wall is a fire resistant structure, by code it has a 2 hour fire rating,
is non-combustible and non-flammable
(standard concrete block homes do not meet this safety criteria)
All Wall requires minimum pesticide applications
(better for allergy and asthma patients)
All Wall creates one of the best sealed envelopes as the concrete fills
the walls from the floor
up to the top of the wall.
(better for allergy and asthma patients)
All Wall is constructed in the manner that is
considered by professionals in the industry to be
the most mildew and mold resistant method.
All Wall gives 2 1/2" more interior space around the inside of the
exterior walls, than concrete blocks
(width is 6 5/8" total)
All Wall is low cost
ESPECIALLY when you consider the Benefits that other walls can not give you.
For other systems to give you the "All Wall Benefits" there cost to
you will
be much more, 'IF' they
can achieve the "All Wall Benefits"
Most of them can not!!
For comparison with block:
You have to add together the
costs
of blocks
furring strips
insulation to bring the wall to approximately R-20
drywall boards (interior)
the first coat of stucco (Exterior)
the savings of 2- 4 weeks of construction interest funding.
For comparison
with wood, and metal framing
You have to add
together the
costs
of framing wood (including the expected waste)
insulation to bring the wall to approximately R-20
drywall boards (interior)
plywood exterior
moisture barrier rap
wire lathe for stucco finishing and the first coat of stucco
and the savings of 2- 4 weeks of construction interest funding
Sub-Contractors
that follow All Wall installation
Sub-contractors
jobs are easier.
There is a flawless transition with no additional training!!
Electricians install their rough work in half the time
with tools they already use everyday.
Drywall crews finish the interior just like finishing drywall
NO moisture retaining, bug harboring, mold feeding drywall boards!!
Stucco crews only have to place 1/8" of cementious
material on the exterior
(same as stucco mix)
Other
Features of the All Wall System
that don't
seem to play as big a part in a Marketing sense,
but add VALUE to the All Wall System!
All Wall
eliminates the construction waste
(as caused by the use of concrete blocks such as the additional ten
percent builders
normally order for breakage as well as the added waste when window and door
openings
are not eliminated from estimates)
Broward County has already filed with the State it’s notices for
benefits from using All Wall.
All Wall reduces construction site clean-up
costs
that are typically caused by block, stucco, furring, tie beam and column
work.
All Wall provides a construction method that
eliminates the need to supply additional materials to form tie
beams and columns, as well as the need for furring and field installed
insulation, as referenced above.
All Wall provides a construction method that allows
the finishing materials to be applied directly to the wall
surface
with quick and easy methods and materials.
(The EXTERIOR finishes with Stucco and paint, or alternate exteriors such
as siding and synthetic stucco. The
INTERIOR needs only drywall tape and mud, then paint. DRYWALL boards
are NOT necessary)
All Wall provides a method which permits pre-fabrication using
optimum
material assembled
under plant controlled conditions at minimum
costs for MAXIMUM QUALITY.
All Wall provides a method for producing a panel building component which
will not
shrink, swell, or warp out of its designed shape, and will be unaffected by
climatic changes, rot, or vermin.
All Wall provides a method of building a load bearing wall assembly
which can be safely executed by two workman
without need of heavy equipment
Other benefits and advantages of this Patented Invention
will become apparent to those skilled in the art of construction
upon examination of the detailed descriptions and drawings of this system.
Market methods:
1.) We educate new home buyers on All Wall with one-on-one
meetings. This is how the homes we have
supplied panels for have been acquired. We have 100% acceptance of
our system when we meet one on
one with the new home buyers. Our home customers have come thru the
non-profit business “Institute for
Sustainable Development” in
2.) We have been introducing All Wall to Developers/Builders for two
years and have found that they:
…want to experience a home built in their current building
areas, ie. City and County.
… will change from their
“comfortable” standard of construction when we supply
the All Wall System and include installation.
Installation in the field takes supervisors and managers.
This is being achieved by the owner of this company.
3.) We have extensive information on our web site. FREE
DESIGN INFORMATION. FREE INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS. Any engineer in the world can use the
“Data Sheet” supplied within our web site to show
the strength provided by All Wall exceeds the strength
required of any home in the
This information is available from our web site by hitting the proper links

Distribution methods:
The All Wall panels are stacked on pallets and then delivered by trucks
to the site by this company’s
manufacturing division.
Companies that obtain a “License to Manufacture” the patented All
Wall System.
License Fee is affordable
The tools to Manufacture costs less than $1,000.00 (One Thousand Dollars)
compared to a concrete block plant or Styrofoam block plant for $1.2 - $2
Million per plant.
Training a carpenter to Fabricate the panels takes less than one day.
Training a carpenter to Install the panels takes less than one day.
Conclusion:
Our
.. by patiently and persistently educating home buyers how to build homes
that are of higher quality than
standard construction methods, while saving them money, starting the day they
move in.
