Engineering flexibility  more

	This system gives the design engineer flexibility in the selection of geometry, cross-sections and reinforcement as required for a specific application. Concrete cross-sections, reinforcing steel bar sizes, and tie spacing may be selected by the structural engineer on the basis of anticipated design forces for a given application
	LadderBlock enables the interconnection of manufactured elements to form independently stable structural modules. These modules typically form three-dimensional multi-sided frames. Pre-cast components are generally open frameworks with rigid joints at member intersections
	LadderBlock is designed to allow the economical construction of structures that can safely carry loads that are much greater than most conventional construction could economically carry
	Each component is designed to safely resist stripping and handling forces, gravity loads, shears, lateral loads, and forces induced by the interaction of the block with other elements

Flexible Design  more

	LadderBlock provides an expanding kit of structural components that can be laid out in unlimited configurations including multistory
	You can create multiple 3D computer models for project review with clients much faster. LadderBlock's modular system coupled with an automated design system like AutoCAD allows you and your client to communicate on a new level.
	This system is suited for commercial, residential, and institutional construction

Rapid Design  more

	After laying out the structure as a 3D model, the team can quickly complete the architectural design, MEP system design, and interior space layout
	The PEBS modular system takes care of the busy work so that you can focus on form, function, and the special details of your project
	When all you have to sell is your time and expertise, a system that helps you earn your fee in fewer hours is a good thing

Green Design  more

	LadderBlock reduces the overall amount of site grading and preparation because it reduces or eliminates the need for slab on grade
	On-site form work is mostly eliminated because LadderBlock products are factory produced
	LadderBlock buildings are designed to easily integrate with rain water harvesting systems and roof-mounted energy equipment
	Integral insulation is incorporated into perimeter wall, roof, and floor panels to provide innovative insulation solutions
	Construction waste is almost nonexistent when using LadderBlock because it is manufactured at the factory
	LadderBlock's as-cast surfaces reduce the need for paints, glues, and chemical laden building products, thus enhancing indoor air quality

Unique Aesthetics  more

	The aesthetic properties (arches, roof terraces, cantilevered decks, …) of the assembled LadderBlock components set an artistic tone that is outside of the conventionally built box
	LadderBlock structure has the muscle to support insulated concrete architectural wall panels or most any conventional construction so that you can design the look you want

Simple Foundation Options  more

	The wide distribution of base forces with LadderBlock, and the attendant lowering of base pressures, generally allows a LadderBlock module to be supported on discreet foundations that minimize earthwork and eliminate the need for slab-on-grade
	These features allow LadderBlock to be used on irregular terrain and they provide a crawl space for mechanical, electrical, plumbing and data systems
	Engineering with LadderBlock can produce a safe and structurally sound design, is faster, and less complex. This allows design professionals to make more profit on their services

Building on Irregular Terrain  more

	LadderBlock does not require a traditional slab on grade foundation. Using LadderBlock's unique pier and beam systems, structures can be built on steep and uneven terrain. LadderBlock offers the lowest possible cost for lake front, canyons, mountains, coastlines, and other difficult building locations
	These types of projects offer unique and high profit opportunities for engineering partners
