Bergstrom: “We’ve chosen to go with a panel system from RSG 3-D – a U.S.-based global company. It is a Styrofoam wall panel system with steel mesh that’s highly efficient and extremely durable because you apply the concrete shell around the foam and the steel is then encapsulated in that. You end up with a hardened structure that’s resistant to fire, to hurricanes, and to earthquakes. All of those make it very attractive, and we’re the first one using this exact building system on the island. The Meadows will be the first large-scale project built out of it. As long as that is successful and we’re happy, the intent is that we’ll apply it to other projects. “Before this, we always used the CMU wall assembly using a standard concrete block or ICF, which is an insulated concrete form. The difference is that the ICF is an oversized foam block with cavities in the middle that you would driving the price of the unit up, we’re trying to appeal to a wide sector. If people want us to put the technology in, we will but that’s an upgrade they can choose to buy. And the same with the solar system. “One of the strong selling points is the location of the property – right off the new highway extension in the West Bay Peninsula, which means very little traffic. Traffic has been a concern for people living in the eastern districts of the island because there is only one road coming in. Morning traffic can be very heavy; it can end up taking more than an hour to drive 15 miles. Where we are on the other side, it’s a five- minute drive. And we’re only about 15 minutes from the airport because we’re in that corridor with two different roadways and a highway.” BVM: What construction method are you using for the build?
