Building Fireproof Homes
Fire-resistant materials and construction technique worked into the structure itself, rather than added to the outside of it.

What the shell gets used for.
Zenith Home Systems works across new construction, renovation, additions and restoration on Oahu. The Composite Blocking System is the constant underneath all of it. What changes is the brief, the building that is already there, and how much of it you get to decide.

The three that define the practice
Fireproofing is the flagship, coastal and flood resistance is the reason the same shell matters on an island, and custom building is where both get applied from a blank site.
- Coastal and Flood-Resistant ConstructionThe same shell detailed for salt, storm and standing water, which is the combination island building actually asks for.Coastal & Flood-Resistant
- Custom Home BuildingDesign concepts through to final construction, with the structural system chosen before the finishes rather than after them.Custom Home Building
The rest of the list
Seven more, each with its own page. They are grouped here by what you are starting from rather than by what they cost.
Starting from a lot
- Accessory Dwelling UnitsA guest house, a rental unit or additional living space, built to sit with the existing home rather than merely beside it.
- Sustainable and Green BuildingEnergy-efficient, environmentally responsible construction, with the running cost of the building treated as part of the design.
- Luxury Home ConstructionHigh-end residences where the material specification runs all the way through the structure, not only across the surfaces.
Starting from a house that already exists
- Energy-Efficient Building SolutionsAdvanced insulation, energy-efficient windows and smart home technologies, on new builds and on upgrades to buildings that already exist.
- Home Renovations and RemodelingKitchens, bathrooms and living areas reworked with the disruption planned around rather than apologised for.
- Home Extensions and AdditionsExtra bedrooms, expanded kitchens and additions that add function and value rather than square footage alone.
- Historic Home RestorationTraditional craftsmanship with modern technique, keeping historical integrity while bringing the building up to how people live now.
