To get a better understanding of exactly what components are needed to manufacture a Force 10 home, it is necessary to look at the three Force 10 Engineered Building Systems - Wall, Floor and Roof.

For the modular panels of the wall system, steel frames are laid out on a jig and cement sheets bonded to them. This panel is inserted in a revolving carousel, and while being compressed by 70 tons of pressure, non-toxic foam, containing fire retardants, is injected to provide an impact resistant panel. This process makes the Force 10 Wall System extremely viable for mass production.
The thermal insulation properties using the Force 10 modular wall panel provides exceptional energy efficiency ratings. These insulation properties make the Force 10 System completely suitable for building in all areas.
Force 10 Internal Wall panels can be designed with or without full height PVC conduit ducts to allow for electrical services. After erection, internal walls can be painted directly or dressed to suit.
Force 10 External Wall panels can easily incorporate doorways, windows, and joinery panels in a wide variety of sizes to suit individuality and scope of design. External panels are ready to paint. Texture coating, plaster rendering or brick veneer are among the broad range of exterior options.
The Force 10 Flooring System has been designed to provide ease of erection, and foundation stumps can be high-set or low-set to meet individual requirements and also allows important ventilation.
Force 10 Floors are supported on adjustable steel stumps with concrete footings secured in the ground. The spacing of the Bearers and Joists are the essential elements of the Force 10 Flooring System, increasing strength and rigidity in the design. The steel floor joists nest securely inside the structural bearers. When the bearers and joists have been bolted together, floor sheeting is fixed to the frame.
The Force 10 Flooring System can be quickly adjusted to suit sloping terrain, and in areas prone to high rainfall or flooding, it is simple to re-adjust after any ground shift in desert or tropical areas.
The Force 10 Roofing System consists of two strong, lightweight steel sections. All sections nest together to allow effective mechanical jointing. No welding is used and protective coatings remain fully intact, minimizing the possibility of corrosion. Trusses fold flat for ease and economy of transport.
