The foundation and slab are constructed in the same manner as conventional building systems. The specifying engineer designs the slab according to local codes and site conditions.
Approximate time: Prior to MONOTECH® Construction
Step
2: The Walls
The walls of the house are erected using pre-cut and labeled EPS foam panels and metal tracks. The panels fit into the “C” and “H” shaped metal tracks to compose a secure structure.
Approximate time: 1/2 day
Step

The roof is built using pre-cut and labeled EPS foam panels and metal tracks, in a manner similar to building the walls.
Approximate time: 1/2 day
Step
4: Windows, Doors, Wire
Reinforcing, and Electrical and Plumbing Rough-ins
The window openings are easily cut out from the foam panels, and the windows are installed. Door jambs are installed and are masked to protect them from MONOCRETE® spraying. The structure is prepared for spraying by installing wire aids as specified by the engineer.
Approximate time: 1 day
Step
5: MONOCRETE®
Application
The whole house interior and exterior is coated
with a ½” layer of MONOCRETE®. The MONOCRETE® can be sprayed or hand troweled onto the EPS foam.
Approximate time: 1 day
Step
6: Finishing
MONOCRETE® can be finished into numerous textures and finishes as desired for the final appearance of the surfaces. Due to the fast curing nature of MONOCRETE®, this process must be done immediately after the application of MONOCRETE®.
Approximate time: 1/2 day
Step
7: Completed Home : Interior
