OVERVIEW

 

The SAFE HARBOR PROJECT will explore new construction methods and techniques for hurricane, tornado, fire, termite, earthquake and blizzard resistant housing as well as energy efficient heating/cooling cost reduction.

The series will consist of a one hour special followed by weekly half hour shows. They will be repeated at least once in the season for a full 52 week airing schedule. Working title of the series is "Safe Harbor - Building for the Future."

The one hour special will offer some new and innovative solutions in construction. We will explore other building processes and examine unique technologies that are cutting edge in the building industry.

We will follow the “THIS OLD HOUSE” type of format and show methods and application of these new building technologies and the benefits to homeowners. Billy Elkins Films production company will travel the country filming different types of housing and commercial buildings to show examples of innovative methods of building. The focus of the show will be the future of building - today.

The centerpiece of the project is a 50 foot diameter Thin Shelled Concrete Dome home. Being constructed as a showcase for the new technologies available for the new home builder market, SAFE HARBOR DOME will be state-of-the-art. After seeing an application or process in the dome, viewers will be treated to other applications and processes from other parts of the country. Field trips to manufacturers will also be very informative and entertaining.
