This is a very promising story that goes beyond the promotion of the insulated concrete walls. Giving people access to affordable, green homes that have the necessary components for saving energy and low cost, eco-friendly maintenance, is a smart direction for builders around the globe. Green material providers, banks, developers, builders and contractors need to find a way to create affordable housing and maintain profit for growth…..after all that's sustainability isn't it?

Builder Stands Apart in Florida Marketplace
ORLANDO, FL. – When builder Dan Wigh was commissioned to build a custom home for a family in Palm Harbor, Fla. in late 2010 he knew exactly where to start --- from the ground up. Wigh, with Wytek Construction LLC, begins many of his projects with the Superior Walls® AG™ wall system to assure the quality, safety and energy efficiency of the homes his company constructs.
"Our fundamental belief is that families should be able to have an environmentally-sensitive, budget-friendly home at a fair price," says Wigh, president of Wytek Construction LLC in Valrico, Florida. "In many cases that home starts with the above grade application of a concrete AG wall system because they are innovative, watertight and extremely energy efficient.
"In 2007 we investigated 18 different types of wall systems and kept coming back to the AG wall system as the best overall solution for our regional needs in central Florida. Since that time we've used Superior Walls products in a dozen projects, and we anticipate another half dozen going up in 2011. We've been exceptionally pleased with the quality of the walls and the value they bring to our clients."
The insulated concrete AG Walls are produced at Superior Walls by Weaver Precast of Florida in a factory-controlled setting in Orlando. The walls are used in above-ground applications and are watertight, termite-resistant and help reduce noise infiltration into the home.
"Wytek Construction has done what few builders in the state of Florida have been able to do --- they have replaced the old building practices of block and wood construction with energy-efficient concrete walls," says David Miller, Florida Sales Manager with Weaver Precast of Florida. "Their approach of building both the first and second floors with the highest quality products possible gives the homeowners what they need to ensure safety, durability, energy efficiency and peace-of-mind."
Saving Time and Dollars
Miller points out that the time-saving aspects of having certified crews install the AG walls on site are also a benefit to both homeowners and builders. Since the system arrives factory-prepared for easy finishing, costly preparation for dry wall is eliminated along with the separate installation of insulation. Most AG wall systems are installed on the job site in just a day, so that construction of the home is immediate.
"Even during these challenging economic times for the housing industry, we're finding there are homebuyers who are eager to invest in well-crafted homes in Florida," says Wigh. "For us, that means we focus on finding the most energy-efficient and top-quality products available. Those searches have led us to the AG wall system, Simonton Windows® ProFinish® vinyl windows and doors, ZIP® System roof sheathing and wall sheathing from Huber®, Stonehenge Roofing Products stone-coated steel roofing and other products with outstanding reputations.
"It's important that we select products that support sustainable, energy-efficient, healthy home technologies that stand up to the Florida hurricane seasons with elegance. Our building practices and selected products are designed to be resource-efficient and more durable than traditional building processes. This helps us deliver value to homebuyers."
Wyteck Construction builds homes in the counties of Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco, Polk, Sarasota and Manatee in Florida. For more information on the company, visit www.wytekconstruction.com.
