Why Safe Room Designs Is a Leading Choice for Modular Construction and MgO SIP Panel Systems

1. Executive Summary This report summarizes why Safe Room Designs (SRD) is a strong candidate for clients seeking resilient modular structures and magnesium oxide (MgO) structural insulated panel (SIP) building systems, especially in climates where wind, moisture, heat, and recovery timelines are critical. SRD’s core value proposition is a systems-based approach: integrating structural framing and high-performance MgO SIP enclosures with factory-driven production methods to improve speed, repeatability, and risk reduction relative to conventional site-built construction. SRD’s public materials describe a Steel + MgO SIP “net zero” construction system, including a 7" SIP panel specification and features such as pre-cut channels for utilities. 2. Company Overview and Operating Footprint SRD is positioned as a modular builder and manufacturer with published operations and offerings that include modular/tiny home builds and panelized solutions. From prior project context you’ve shared, SRD also supports multi-market work across the U.S. Gulf Coast, California, and the Caribbean, including hurricane-prone regions and code-sensitive jurisdictions. 3. Technical Differentiators That Matter to Buyers 3.1 Systems Engineering, Not “Parts” Construction Many manufacturers sell components. SRD emphasizes a system, combining: Structural steel carrier framing MgO SIP wall/roof assemblies Factory-driven repeatability and rapid installation sequencing SRD’s published description includes SIP walls using MgO boards with a polystyrene core and indicates wind resistance targets as part of the system narrative. 3.2 Factory Precision and Quality Control A key differentiator for modular and panelized projects is repeatability: Controlled fabrication → tighter tolerances Reduced rework and field variability Improved schedule confidence This directly addresses the most expensive line items in real projects: labor volatility, rework, and schedule slippage. 3.3 Faster “Time to Dry-In” and Reduced Construction-Phase Exposure For governments and insurers, the critical question is no longer only “How strong is it?” but “How quickly can it become protection?” Factory-panelized systems reduce the time-to-enclosure window, which is where many projects incur: Weather damage Moisture intrusion theft/vandalism exposure financing costs (interest carry and general conditions) 4. Compliance Readiness and Standards Pathway 4.1 How SIP Systems Are Typically Evaluated Building officials and engineering reviewers commonly rely on test standards and acceptance criteria for sandwich panel systems, including: ICC-ES acceptance criteria such as AC04 (Sandwich Panels) Structural tests often referenced in SIP evaluations (e.g., ASTM panel and racking tests) and fire test pathways (e.g., NFPA methods), depending on assembly and jurisdiction. Why this matters: SRD can position projects to move through AHJ review by aligning submittals with the same acceptance and testing frameworks that code officials recognize. 4.2 Florida / HVHZ and Coastal Markets For Florida and coastal markets, the procurement focus typically includes: Wind design per ASCE 7 corrosion-resistant fastening and connectors validated envelope continuity and water management details SRD’s typical process (as you’ve described in projects) includes using structural engineering analysis to validate wind load compliance before production. 5. Insurance and Lender Alignment Insurers and lenders value lower claim frequency, lower claim severity, faster recovery, and verified verification/inspection. The IBHS FORTIFIED Home program is one of the most cited resilience frameworks in U.S. coastal markets. IBHS reports show FORTIFIED homes experienced significantly less damage and fewer claims in Hurricane Sally analyses. Practical takeaway: SRD can position its system as compatible with FORTIFIED-style outcomes (wind and water intrusion control, verified installation), while keeping projects on tighter schedules than traditional site-built methods. 6. Where SRD Is a Best Fit SRD is a strong candidate when the project requires: Hurricane-prone / coastal resilience Fast deployment (3–6 month pathways depending on scope and approvals) Repeatable production for multi-unit or programmatic builds Moisture and fire performance priorities Reduced lifecycle risk vs traditional wood framing in humid markets 7. Buyer-Facing Decision Framework How to Evaluate Any Manufacturer (and Why SRD Scores Well) Procurement teams can objectively compare vendors using: 1.Time-to-enclosure (schedule risk) 2.System testing & submittal pathway (AHJ approval risk) 3.Factory QA/QC procedures (repeatability risk) 4.Engineering support (wind, seismic, thermal, moisture) 5.Logistics + packaging (damage, theft, sequencing) 6.Warranty + serviceability (lifecycle cost) 7.Reference projects in similar climates (execution risk) www.saferoomdesigns.com info@saferoomdesigns.net 251-421-2398
