am-cor inc. provides pre-engineered panelized or pre-cut steel frames to build disaster resistant structures anywhere in the world.
The am-cor™ PAK consists of everything needed to complete an am-cor™ shell.
PANEL PAK - consists of factory assembled building panels for projects where construction speed is important or where the builder crew is inexperienced in steel frame construction.
SHELL PAK - consists of pre-cut frame members for site assembly; it is ideal for multiple structures where shipping cost is a factor, and crew training and certification are required for panel fabrication in the field.
Both PAKS are used to construct all parts of the shell, including exterior walls, intermediate floors, roof frames, partitions, balcony railings, and staircases.
FIELD MANUAL - custom site handbook detailing construction system, includes itemized component list, keyed to component labels, includes assembly diagrams and instructions, floorplans and elevations showing panel placement, roof and floor framing diagrams, instructions for fasteners, decking, doors and windows, and amcorite™ ferrocement surfaces, details of included OPTIONS, such as hurricane roofing tiles
FIELD REPRESENTATIVE - knowledgeable am-cor inc. agent with general construction background, trained as am-cor™ site manager, instructs crew, visits site at each phase, ensures that building crew understands am-cor™ system and can move ahead
