Green Building Revolution

Traditional home construction methods create a hidden inefficiency that forces your heating and cooling system to work up to 25% harder than necessary, costing you hundreds of dollars annually while making your home less comfortable. The problem lies in something called "framing factor"—a construction industry term that measures how much of your wall space is occupied by wooden studs instead of insulation.

BamCore's Prime.24 framing system represents a paradigm shift in construction technology, offering builders and homeowners a way to build faster, stronger, and greener without abandoning familiar construction processes.

The choice you make for your building’s frame is one of the most consequential decisions in construction—it’s a decision that echoes through decades of energy bills, storm seasons, acoustic comfort and even resale values.

Architects Andrew Linn and Jack Becker of BLDUS have created a revolutionary approach to urban infill housing that challenges conventional construction methods. Their "farm-to-shelter" philosophy combines traditional building wisdom with cutting-edge materials like BamCore's hybrid bamboo/wood/Eucalyptus panels to create homes that are not only sustainable and healthy but also deeply connected to their local context.

The construction industry is overdue for disruption. BamCore is tackling these urgent challenges head-on by transforming both what we build with and how we build—without forcing builders to abandon familiar construction processes. The green building revolution isn’t a distant vision—it’s happening right now, fundamentally changing how we think about the spaces we create and the impact they have on our world.
