“Type 1A construction is traditionally used almost exclusively for high-rise structures. Others have designed Type 1A homes but were unable to build due to exorbitant costs. With our patent-pending roof assembly, we can build a PHNX Home quickly, and economically. Power will always be maintained, even during a blackout.”

Laurie Fisher, President and CEO at PHNX Development

“As a 30-year fire professional, the level of devastation that I’ve seen from wildfires is staggering. Wherever we have homes that meet Type 1A building code, firefighters can focus attention on controlling the fire, without the distraction of dealing with homeowners reluctant to evacuate.”
