A Texas manufacturer
of high-performance masonry.
We take locally sourced soil, stabilize it with a small amount of Portland cement, and press it into structural blocks. Then we deliver those blocks to real projects.
Late 2023
Texas manufacturer. Blocks already in walls.
Bertram / Central Texas
Local soil. Pressed here. Delivered to the job.
Made-in-USA AECT 3500
Industrial press. Structural block. Built to press earth.
People have built with earth for thousands of years. Now you can order the block.
Wood won the 20th century.
The constraints that made it win are reversing.
Wood won because it was fast to frame, cheap at the mill, and the code was written around it. Those same traits now carry the insurance and supply-chain bill.
Long, fragile supply chains for materials that are expensive to haul.
Insurance and durability pressure on wood-frame in fast-growing Texas.
Local soil, short haul, fire / flood / ballistic performance, competitive with masonry.
Earthen construction is ancient. Industrial wood framing is a 20th-century choice.
We are selling a 21st-century masonry option, not nostalgia.
If you can stack a block,
you are in this market.
