Alair Homes West Vancouver & North Vancouver is proud to be the first authorized BONE Structure builder on the North Shore.

BONE Structures are the Future of Home Building

More than 150 BONE Structure homes have been built throughout eastern Canada, and this exciting announcement means that the future of long lifespan, sustainable and energy-efficient homes has finally arrived here.

Aerospace industry precision has now been introduced to the design and construction of custom homes, thereby allowing for efficient assembly and minimal risk of human error. Just as wood is no longer used like it was in the first cars and airplanes, the use of wood and its associated problems will soon be a thing of the past in home construction.

These are not your typical pre-fabricated or factory built homes. They are custom designed to be open and airy, with minimal interior load-bearing walls while at the same time providing high energy efficiency.

Breaking the Mold

When compared with traditional wood framed homes, a BONE Structure home is easier to assemble and minimizes the opportunity for human error. Steel frames (40-60% recycled content) are assembled using only drills; while mechanical, plumbing and electrical systems are routed through precut openings which act as passageways within the structure.

The advanced technology enables the design of open spaces up to 25 feet in length without requiring intermediate loadbearing walls (this is unheard of in standard wood-framed construction).

And what it offers you, the homeowner, is a beautiful open concept space, while allowing the flexibility to more easily alter interior living spaces in the future. But those aren’t the only advantages. Here are a few more:

  1. Greater opportunity for innovative and unique open-concept designs.
  2. Better indoor air quality. Risk of mold and rot is minimized by eliminating carbohydrates
    (wood cellulose) from the outside walls.

  3. Allows for expansive floor to ceiling windows in this new era of seismic design constraints.

  4. The elimination of unsightly bulkheads jutting down from the ceiling.

  5. Reduced construction time and exposure to the environment, which can be especially important in the ‘wet’ Vancouver lower mainland.

  6. Increases the life expectancy of your home.

  7. Green product due to its recycled content and reduction of construction waste added to landfill, compared to wood.

  8. Energy-efficient design and airtight construction with R28.5 walls and R56 roofs, which saves on heating and cooling costs in the future.

Just like strong bones are one key to a strong, active and healthy body, the same can be said of the bones that support the structure of your home.

So, if you’re choosing to construct a custom home and spending your money wisely is important to you, then drop us a line at Alair Homes North Shore and let us show you the future with BONE Structure.
