“Sustainable development is a journey, 
and we must find the way to meet our needs,
without compromising the ability of future 
generations to meet their own.”    Dupont

Environmental protection:

CAVALVI 's is a Green building System 
for it does not cause depletion of any living natural
resource. Instead it utilizes materials that originate
from the most abundant minerals on Earth's crust.

A whole new concept of
Green Building Construction
of real affordability.

Beyond year Build safe with
  CAVALVI.

CAVALVI's 3d Millennium System is based on Aluminum-framed concrete-core bearing wall panels, steel tubular tie beams and columns for additional reinforcement and anchoring of roof bracing frame to foundation. The high compression resistance of concrete and tensile strength of the metalic structure components in pinned joint frameworks(Framework elements=Aluminum panels, connectores, columns, beams and girders) These flexible framework structures provide constructions sufficient resistance to withstand tornado wind pressures and enough elasticity to dissipate seismic oscillations, yet affordable to all families regardless of income level.  
Building Costs.
In addition of providing environmentally green,
Hazard-safe homes of highly extended durability(centuries), we
guarantee total building costs will be lower than half
of those of traditional construction systems.
Building kits prices range from 16 $/ft2  to 20 $/ft2  
+  S&H . Must submit a project to get an exact quotation for 
the complete Kit. Cost being inversely proportional to Design Efficiency, defined as:
 Design Efficiency = Total Plan Area/Total Wall Area, 
Hazard zoning.
In Tornado Alley States and costal areas, additional  reinforcement and anchoring of the roof's steel frame to foundation with steel columns is recommended and come included with the kits.
Total construction costs for a finished home range from 38 to 50 $/ft2².
Average cost range estimated to be less than one third (33%) of the costs for traditional wooden-frame housing, being much safer and durable.

Construction Materials used with this building method.
Aluminum, Steel and Concrete.

Why Aluminum?
When considering materials for structural
Applications, engineers and designers know that
When they choose aluminum, they're getting a true
non-corrosive self protecting heavyweight.
Aluminum, with 1/3 the density of steel, has a proven record of carrying loads well in excess of its weight. Note these tough facts: Aluminum A pound of aluminum can replace twice the weight of steel in some applications. Aluminum For over 100 years, aluminum has been the answer to tough design challenges as a weight and cost-saving construction alternative to wood and other materials. Its value is well known in many areas of construction, as well as in automotive, aviation, and marine applications, to name a few. In terms of both its positive economic and environmental impact, the aluminum industry remains one of our most significant national an international success stories.

Why Steel reinforcements?

Steel reinforcements are traditional of good engineering practices to provide reinforced concrete with resistance to tensional loads. It is used in steel mesh inside all concrete foundations, wall  and roof panels, in tie beams, reinforcing and anchoring tubular columns.

Why Concrete wall fillings?

While metals are good in resisting tensions, concrete is not. But concrete is the best filling material for resisting compression loads and wind pressure forces. Cellular concrete, good in resisting compressive forces, up to 2500 PSI, provides wall cores with additional insulating properties. K= 5.4 Btu/hr/in/F. and it is an excellent product to cast panels in site. See ICBO Unified Code 2000 for: ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA FOR FOAMED-CEMENT WALL SYSTEMS.

Reinforcing Fiber
Polymer fiber in 8-12 mm long is a reinforcing element in the structure of concrete. Improves all properties of concrete.
Cellular concrete and polymer fibers are provided throughout the US 

by
Elastizell Corporation of America

Important notice: All materials, except for panel frames components 
can be acquired locally in the area of construction site.
CAVALVI WALL  SYSTEMS:

                 CAVALVI means savings in materials,
labor, time, mortgage and insurance.
And most important,your property value will upraise with time.    

  CAVALVI is backed up by very large Aluminum processing industrial
infrastructure, CVG-Alcasa, Extrudal, Alcan Venezuela, providing CAVALVI
a certified production capability of 300 TON/DAY, sufficient aluminum
to produce components for 500 homes with CAVALVI's patented matrixes,
molds and procedures.
These hard Facts will make considerable impact in the near future
on availability shortage of real affordable housing.
