What Sets Us Apart?

Built on a solid foundation, designed to stand firm through every storm.

At Seven:24 Solid Built, our mission is to build homes that stand the test of time—engineered with excellence, and grounded in the wisdom of Matthew 7:24. We specialize in Structural Insulated Concrete Panel (SCIP) construction, delivering hurricane-resistant, energy-efficient, and exceptionally strong homes designed to endure both the storms of life and the forces of nature. Guided by faith, integrity, and innovation, we create secure, sustainable homes where families can grow, thrive, and build a lasting legacy on an unshakable foundation.

Matthew 7:24-25 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock.”

Why SCIP?

  • Energy Efficiency: Stay comfortable year-round while reducing energy costs.

  • Durability: Strong, weather-resistant homes that stand the test of time.

  • Sustainability: Building homes that are better for the environment, without compromising on style or safety.

  • Innovative Design: Custom homes that reflect your unique vision, all while using the latest in construction technology.

Build smart. Live better. Let us help you build a home that works for your life today, and for generations to come.

  • SCIP is a composite wall or roof panel made of three main layers:

    Core components

    1. Rigid insulation core

      • Usually EPS (expanded polystyrene) foam

      • Provides continuous thermal insulation

    2. Steel wire mesh (both sides)

      • Welded galvanized steel

      • Connected through the foam with steel trusses or ties

    3. Concrete (shotcrete or gunite)

      • Applied to both sides after installation

      • Becomes a reinforced concrete sandwich

    Once cured, the panel acts as a monolithic structural element, not just a wall covering

  • SCIP advantages

    • Reinforced concrete on both faces

    • Steel mesh distributes loads evenly

    • High resistance to:

      • Earthquakes

      • Hurricanes

      • High winds

      • Fire

      • Impact

    Compared to wood framing

    • Wood relies on many joints → more failure points

    • Susceptible to rot, termites, fire

    • Loses strength over time

    Compared to CMU block

    • SCIP walls behave as a single structural diaphragm

    • CMU relies heavily on mortar joints (weak points)

  • SCIP

    • Continuous insulation (no thermal bridging)

    • Typical R-values: R-20 to R-40+

    • Concrete provides thermal mass, stabilizing indoor temperature

    Wood framing

    • Studs create thermal bridges

    • Insulation is interrupted every 16 inches

    CMU

    • Poor insulation unless heavily modified

    Lower heating & cooling costs for the life of the building

Best Use Cases for SCIP

  • SCIPs are ideal where wind, uplift, and flying debris are concerns because they create a continuous, reinforced concrete shell.

    • Meets Florida wind-load engineering standards

    • Fewer weak joints than framing or sheathing

    • Excellent impact resistance

    • Great for HVHZ zones, coastal properties, and safe rooms

  • SCIPs combine continuous insulation + thermal mass, which:

    • reduces cooling peaks during hot afternoons

    • stabilizes indoor temps

    • reduces HVAC cycling and load

    • performs better than “R-value alone” suggests in Florida

    Ideal for Net-Zero, solar-equipped, or high-performance homes.

  • SCIPs shine when designs call for:

    • clean stucco / plaster modern finishes

    • large openings & long spans

    • curves, domes, or sculpted forms

    • coastal corrosion resistance

    Especially useful for waterfront custom homes and luxury builds.

  • Florida’s humidity drives moisture into walls. SCIPs help by:

    • eliminating wood studs (no food source for mold/termites)

    • providing airtight concrete skins

    • minimizing condensation risk

    • resisting rot, decay, and pests

    Perfect for coastal, marsh, and high-humidity inland areas.
