We Ship Green, Affordable Homes Worldwide

So now you can sell homes anywhere in the world
Are you worried about the local real estate market?
There are many real estate markets in the world, and we can show you how to profit from them today.

Advertising Mogul David Ogilvy used to have a set of Russian Dolls on his desk, and every time he hired someone new he would take a moment to remove the top of the doll. Inside was a slightly smaller doll, inside that a smaller doll. He would turn to the recruit and say, “all I ask is that you recruit people smarter than yourself to come to work here. If you recruit people who know less than you, our company disappears. If you recruit people smarter than yourself we become a company of giants.”

Panelized Building Systems now represents 21 manufactured housing companies through out the US and Canada. We now have nine international sales reps around the globe, capable of speaking more than a dozen languages. We shop your plans and negotiate the best price for you. "BIOS HOMES" TM, our premier product line of eco friendly, green, zero energy buildings, includes wood frame and steel panelized homes, geodesic, timber frame, log, and structural insulated panels. Unlike modular, these types of construction are conducive to shipping in containers allowing us to compete successfully on both the domestic and international markets.

Creating our own manufacturing plants is the ultimate goal. The first step of working with the various manufacturers as their marketing arm, promoting BIOS homes will give us great insight to the industry, and allow us to market cost effectively on a worldwide basis. We will learn what they do well, and not so well. More importantly, we may find manufacturing companies to partner with before opening our plant. http://connecticutrealestateandconstruction.com/mill/

I envision Bios Homes as the leading home manufacturer in the world. A vertically integrated conglomerate, eventually swallowing up existing manufacturing plants, railroads, material supply companies, alternative energy companies, and managing our own forests. The company would provide new construction, redevelopment, remodeling, real estate sales and finance services. Our main product line will be green, workforce housing.
There are no delusions, it is a lifetime of work. A lifetime dedicated to leaving the world a better place for the next seven generations. The concept of cleaner healthier living promoted through affordable, energy independent home building, sales and finance is a powerful concept, perhaps powerful enough to lead the world out of the current environmental and financial crisis. This is my dream and today I am one step closer to ensuring my children have a better life because of my actions.

Today we must start by creating a team, can you help, who else do you know that can help?

Changing Lives Around the World

In October of 2003, FreeLife International released Himalayan Goji® Juice. As people enjoyed its goodness, stories of enhanced health and well-being began flooding into FreeLife Headquarters from throughout the world. The goodness of Himalayan Goji Juice crossed all cultural, national, and ethnic boundaries. It was changing lives and the time was ripe for international expansion. FreeLife began an aggressive expansion in 2004, launching into Australia, Philippines, New Zealand, Canada, Mexico, Dominican Republic, Trinidad, Antigua, Hong Kong, Singapore, St. Lucia, St. Kitts, Bahamas, and St. Martin.
People everywhere have experienced tremendous results with Himalayan Goji Juice, making it the bestselling, number one goji product in the world. And now, the best has gotten even better with GoChi™.
Developed as a direct result of FreeLife’s worldwide research efforts, GoChi represents the next generation of Himalayan Goji Juice, delivering an unprecedented potency and balance of the unique LBP in the goji berry. Named for the "go" in goji and chi, the ancient Chinese term for the "vital life force," GoChi contains all the goodness of Himalayan Goji Juice, and so much more!
It is said that the Himalayans were the first natural healers, and that one of their most prized possessions was the fruit of the native goji vine, which had been flourishing in the Himalayan valleys since the beginning of time. Today, we are the recipients of this priceless gift. Help us bring it to a waiting world!

The Secret of Himalayan Goji

In 1996, FreeLife scientists were introduced to the miraculous goji berry. We were so impressed by what we saw that we dedicated the next 7 years to unlocking the secret of this ancient Himalayan remedy.
FreeLife scientists discovered that goji's unique polysaccharides act as Master Molecules in the body. Synergized together, they serve as directors and carriers of the instructions that cells use to communicate with each other. As a result, they are of great importance to the smooth functioning of virtually every cell in the entire body.
Most importantly, we discovered the fingerprint of the potent goji of legend that originated in the Himalayas. Thus, we were able to identify, isolate, and harvest only those special goji berries with the active principles in exact balance for the most powerful results. After continued research, FreeLife found a way to capture goji's goodness in a 100% juice product, patterned after the ancient recipes and practices of the Himalayan people.

A Passion for Health, Naturally

When Ray Faltinsky was 15 years old, his life changed. He discovered that his mother, Martha, was ill with osteoporosis. Medical professionals advised that she would eventually be in a wheelchair. The Faltinsky family began to despair until Ray's older brother Ron, who was deeply involved in nutrition, made a special drink for Martha containing the nutrients vital to healthy bones. She agreed to try it, and slowly, over a period of months, the pain eased, and her mobility increased. When she returned to the doctor, the X-rays showed no evidence of this disease!
That single event began to shape Ray's passion for natural health, and fueled his desire to help people. So much so that when he graduated from Yale Law School, he knew he would never practice as a lawyer.
Together with his good friend Kevin Fournier, they founded FreeLife International to make that dream a reality. "We believed that we could build a company that would make a positive difference and would be a safe harbor for people who were looking for a permanent home," said Faltinsky.
Backed by 20 investors including famed investment guru, Anson Beard of Morgan Stanley/Dean Witter, Ray and Kevin launched FreeLife International in 1995. A few short years later, FreeLife was ranked by Inc. magazine as one of the fastest-growing, privately held companies in America.

The Benefits of Panelization

The Benefits of Panelization Panelized construction saves both the builder and buyer time and money with improved quality, efficiency and control. Since the first builder realized that using a truss system to better build a complicated roof, panelized homebuilding methods have become more and more technologically advanced, leading to a wide array of benefits.

While the term “panelized housing” can refer to any number of construction styles and techniques, the benefits of building with panels are universal. From saving time to controlling costs and quality, reducing construction material waste and more, it’s no wonder that more and more home builders and buyers are choosing panelized home construction.

Make Your Designing Dreams a Reality
With the technology currently available and the inherent adaptability of the panelized systems, no two panelized homes need ever be exactly alike. Most custom home designs begin as nothing more than a daydream and a doodle. Whether you are a professional designer or just have a floor plan in mind, most panelized home companies can turn your idea into a dream home. With computer-assisted design programs, designers and engineers can turn just about any idea into a working blue print. In many cases, the plans for your home are sent directly from a designer’s computer to the panelization shop floor, ensuring your home is built accurately and efficiently.

A New Home in Less Time
Your new home’s panels can be engineered and fabricated in a manufacturing plant in just a few days before being shipped to your home site. Once on site, the shell of a panelized home can be erected and made weather tight in just a few days! Not only does this reduced construction time save weeks compared to on-site stick building, but weather, material delivery and subcontractor scheduling delays – often unavoidable in stick-built construction – are much less of a concern for panelized home construction.

Built Precisely & Efficiently
Each worker in a panelized facility has been trained to do a particular carpentry job and through experience, has become an expert in that specialized aspect of home construction. That expertise, combined with the precision technology used to produce panelized home components and uniform quality control supervision simply cannot be replicated on a job site.

These state-of-the-art machines produce panels that are engineered to the highest quality, ensuring your home is built precisely square and dimensionally correct without room for human error. Your home’s panels are built to meet your local building code before they even leave the facility, no matter if your area requires special considerations for high winds, floods, or more.

With such a low margin of error and high amount of precision, panelized homes are known for increased energy efficiency. These homes are comfortable year round and cost less to heat and cool over time.

Eliminate Costly Overruns
When building a new home, what inflates costs – and infuriates home buyers – are unforeseen delays and circumstances. Utilizing panelized construction methods go a long way toward reducing or outright eliminating some of the costliest delays.

With a majority of a panelized home’s initial construction occurring in a climate-controlled facility, your new home’s framing materials will not be subject to weather delays and, due to the speed of assembly, the exposure to the elements is greatly reduced.

Reducing the amount of on-site labor also reduces a construction project’s reliance on subcontractors. Depending on your location, finding and scheduling subcontractors can be time-consuming and costly, with imperfections resulting from the varying degrees of expertise being applied at different jobs. Panelized construction allows a builder to better schedule and coordinate your new home’s completion.

Construction on Your Schedule
Of all obstacles home builders face, Mother Nature is often the harshest. Since your new panelized home is pre-constructed in a climate-controlled facility, worries of rain, snow, or wind damage are virtually eliminated. Most panelized homes can be weather-tight in a matter of days, keeping your home safe and dry, and free of the warping, mold, mildew, and squeaking that adverse weather may cause.

Integrating Panels into the Production Homebuilding Process

How do builders decide whether to use panelized house systems? What factors come into play when a builder is contemplating making a move to panelized construction? And for what reasons would builders who are inclined to try a new building technology choose not to use panelized construction? These are some of the questions asked in this study conducted for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's PATH (Partnership for Advancing Technology in Housing) program in an effort to understand how builders decide to use panel systemsThe study found that higher first costs and an inadequate understanding of panelized housing technology appear to be the most common barriers cited by builders who have not used panels. Competition with other builders is not a major factor in deciding to use panels. Some code officials appeared to remain behind the curve of understanding how panel systems work, but most (according to the builders) are accepting of the technology once they are educated about it (supplied in some cases by builders using panels). Among builders who have elected to use panels, cost savings in the long-term, shorter construction time, and better overall quality are the major deciding factors. Some builders have carved out niche markets in building energy-efficient homes; they claimed that the energy efficiency of structural insulated panel (SIP) construction helped them to serve this market. Some of the important factors for the successful use of panels cited by the builders were trained crews experienced with the technology and good communication and coordination between the builder and panel supplier.Ultimately, a bedrock finding of the study is that builders willing to trust in advanced technology are most-times rewarded for their efforts in a variety of ways: lower material costs, lower labor costs, and fewer call-backs.
