With an office in San Francisco, BONE Structure is an established technology provider working in partnership with local builders, architects and trades. BONE Structure homes can easily reach Net Zero energy efficiency, and provide long lasting benefits such as superior resistance to earthquakes, mold and termites.
Building permits, seismic load analysis, local regulations and best-practices: the BONE Structure team has the expertise to manage and advance your project with speed.
Your architect and builder can easily design and build with BONE Structure, so you can entrust your home to your local team, and maintain full control over all aspects of the building process.
Our local architects, engineers and builders are ready to take charge of the project and see it built from A to Z, should you wish to rely on our team for a turnkey home.
Relying on BONE Structure’s integrated services can significantly speed up the construction process: our architectural design, interior design, engineering and project management teams all work in tandem to seamlessly advance your project. Here are the first steps of a typical timeline, for a custom home built in California.
BONE Structure homes are built with a patented steel structure system, and insulated with a combination of rigid and spray foam insulation. Several design features of BONE Structure homes provide fire resistance advantages, and can help reduce the risk of fire.
Steel, the main structural component in BONE Structure homes, is a non-combustible material. It therefore does not burn, nor does it provide an ignition source or add fuel load that would enable a fire to spread or grow.
BONE Structure Homes are designed with unventilated attics. The shell is closed all the way to the top layer, with no access to the roof structure from the outside. This reduces the risk of fire propagating via flying embers, a very common occurrence in wildfires.
BONE Structure Homes can be equipped with high performance triple pane windows which resist heat and prevent fire propagation much more efficiently than single or double pane windows.
Closed Cell Spray Foam is used in the walls and roof of a BONE Structure Home. Contrary to popular belief, Spray Foam does not melt but instead creates a char layer protecting from further fire propagation.
