A Phoenix-based construction company isn't worried about the high price of lumber. It has replaced lumber with another building material that it claims is cheaper, more available, more resistant to natural disasters, and more energy efficient.Hi, I'm Kathy Fettke and this is Real Estate News for Investors. If you like our podcast, please subscribe and leave us a review.Amazing Building MaterialSo what is this amazing building material? It's basically a combination of foam and cement in layers. It can be used on all parts of a home including walls, floors, and ceilings. And lowers the cost of building the home by as much as 10 to 50%.Strata International calls the product SABS which stands for Saebi Alternative Building System. Strata is a green structural engineering company and Amir Saebi (Sigh-EE-bee) is the Executive Operations Manager. (1)The process involves the cutting of foam slabs into smaller elements of the home design and then gluing them together with a foam adhesive to create a three-dimensional structure. That foam structure is then covered on both the inside and the outside with a thin layer of high-strength concrete. No Wood. No Nails. No Steel. No Nothing.Saebi told a local TV station: “Once the panels come together you have a monolithic system completely made out of foam.” After that, he says: “We'll take the high-strength concrete and apply it to the exterior and interior and that's all the system uses. No wood. No nails. No steel. No nothing. It's just the foam and the SABS product which goes over it which is the high-strength concrete.” (2)Saebi says it's so strong that you could drive an F150 truck onto a six-inch finished piece without cracking it. He also described the environmental qualities of the foam as “100% breathable, 100% liveable, FDA approved, and 100% recyclable.”There's a chart on the website that shows how this foam can outperform other building materials when it comes to mother nature. (3) It says that houses made of this foam can withstand winds up to 260 miles per hour, making it highly resistant to hurricanes. It's also at the top of its class when it comes to earthquakes, mold resistance, and rodent resistance. It has a moderate reading for fires which is better than wood.Practical Solution for Green ConstructionStrata says the foam is a perfect solution for a building material that is more climate friendly, and the first practical solution for green construction because it checks so many boxes – from affordability to sustainability.It's also a better insulating material than wood, masonry and other building materials. It has a minimum R-value of 35 with an average R-value of 50 to 65. The minimum R-value alone is more than double the R-value of wood and masonry.The R-value of a building material indicates how well it resists heat. The higher the number, the higher the resistance. The foam is also good for soundproofing. Saebi says that energy efficiency is about double what you'd get from a home built of wood, and in places like Arizona, it can cut your AC bill in half.No Limits on DesignHe also emphasizes the design benefits of foam because you have no limits to the kind of shapes you can create. There are also fewer steps to the construction process. Building a home out of foam might require four kinds of sub-contractors while a wood home requires 11.The company has already built hundreds of foam buildings around the world, and is currently building a 6,000-square foot home out of foam in the Phoenix area. Saebi says the supply chain issues that have haunted builders for the last few years haven't impacted the availability of foam so foam prices haven't really hasn't increased.Strata first introduced its foam building material more than 20 years ago in 1999 so it's been around for a while. Saebi says with supply chain and climate change issues, it's now becoming more popular.Check for links in the show notes at newsforinvestors.com.

Episode 044: Travis Knight is a master at creating learning environments in the weight room. He’s got a unique perspective on basketball strength & conditioning, combining complex systems and motor learning theory with vision and mindset training.Travis and I were classmates at Gonzaga back in the 90’s and have worked together professionally since 2006. He’s currently the strength & conditioning coach for the GU Men’s Basketball team and has done an incredible job working side by side with Mark Few to build strong, intrinsically motivated players.Travis’ training methods are outside the box but are rooted in the best of science. Instead of focusing on sets and reps, he pours his energy into creating learning environments in the weight room. He sat down to explain why:Mental toughness is misunderstoodPlay is so importantYou can’t train strength without coordinationVariability is a core principle in program designHe trains personal growth every MondayTo learn more about Travis, check him out on social media: @ZagGreatnessInstagram@HoopCommitmentTwitter@HoopCommitmentFacebookHoopCommitmentWebsiteHoopCommitment.com/44

Ben Falk from Whole Systems Design, LLC joins me talk about permaculture design and what he has learned on his research site over the years. He talks about how to break into the business as a designHe touches on cold climate infrastructure and heating with wood. And he goes into his thoughts on designing a property and why it's important to understand the land's capability and how you should relate that to your goals. We also spend some time talking about the mass selection of plant genetics for a site, stressing the importance of over stacking the system in the beginning to see what works and what doesn't. Key Takeaways: Get some experience working with the land and systems before you start designing properties as "a designer." You can reduce your wood usage by 30-40% by drying wood well versus haphazardly drying it. Cold humid climates have a low tolerance for bad moisture detailing in structures. When designing a home detail carefully to keep the home dry and get water out. Grow tree multi-purpose tree species for fuel wood. Consider black locusts - fixes nitrogen, fast grower, rot resistant wood, good fuel wood, and makes great saw logs. Have goals but understand the land's capability so you can adjust those goals as needed. Don't fight against the land's tendencies and capabilities, work with it, not against it. Most people have more land than they can manage well. Moving down in acreage might be advantageous. It is better to manage 5 acres right than 100 acres wrong. Most people can have most of their needs met on 5-10 acres. Unless you have a commercial aspect or grazing component. Have a good access plan for your site. Don't box yourself out. Start and maintain a clear access pattern which is based on the water flow throughout the site. For site selection general location and access are a quick way to filter down a list of a lot of properties. Then look to the Keyline Scale of Permanance. Consider water security and controlling as much of a watershed as you can. Focus on manageability with regards to plantings. Plant based on water access with on contour swales. Not all permaculture techniques will work on all sites. So don't expect that. Practice the mass selection of genetics. Identify the best genetics from your site by growing trees from seed. Plant as many tress as you can on a site, way closer than you would ever imagine, and cut out the ones that don't do well. Use the first 3-5 years on a site to learn what does well. Years 5-10 are when you focus on plants and families that really want ot grow on your site - microclimate - aspect - soils. And there is no way to know which ones will work unless you start putting a lot of plants in the ground.
