Overview
The patented am-cor System is ideal for medium span, mid-rise commercial buildings, and can also be used to create high-rise buildings. Our unique amcorite Ferrocement structural stucco skin & engineering allows code-compliant & green built space to be constructed quickly, efficiently, and inexpensively:
- Safe, Secure, Healthy: earthquake, storm, fire-resistant construction materials only
- Save 15-20% over standard building construction costs
- Complete in 2/3 time of standard construction due to prefabrication & preengineering
- Save 10% annually on standard building operation costs
- Inherently Sustainable: less material = approximately 40% smaller Carbon footprint
Developers & Contractors
If you're a Developer or Contractor interested in the cost & time savings of constructing one or more buildings with the am-cor System, please see our Professional section.
Retail & Office
The am-cor System is the an extremely flexible pre-engineered building system. As a designer, contractor, or developer, you can economically form almost any building shape and plan configuration. Due to prefabrication & preengineering, the am-cor System not only dramatically lowers construction labor, but also lowers facility maintenance costs over the am-cor building's extremely long lifetime due to Ferrocement's durability & resiliency. |
Educational & Community
Durability, beauty, fire resistance, and healthy IEQ (Indoor Environmental Quality) are all important qualities of the am-cor System that make am-cor Day Care Centers, Hospitals, Schools, Clinics, and Churches safe places to be, and safe havens during disasters.
Hospitality & Restaurants
The am-cor System is ideal for the demanding maintenance requirements of the hospitality & service industries. This is especially important in seaside environments, as the special amcorite Ferrocement used to coat am-cor galvanized steel frames does not deteriorate with exposure to salt water, moist air, and strong sunshine.
For example, am-cor Tropical Villas and hotels have withstood the test of time in Caribbean seaside resort areas, subject to hurricanes and earthquakes without damage or deterioration.

The System
The am-cor System is the world's first comprehensive pre-engineered, prefabricated, panelized construction system. Each am-cor Prefab Kit provides the entire structure of a building:
- Foundations & footers,
- Columns & beams,
- Roofs, overhangs, sloped surfaces,
- Walls & partitions,
- Railings & stairs,
- Floors, balconies and bay windows.
These structural elements are unified & integrated together by the amcorite Ferrocement skin, which forms a single unibody shell. The completed structure is strong enough to endure hurricanes, storm surges, and earthquakes, and is also fire, vermin, insect, termite, mold, mildew, fungus, and rot resistant.
