While earthquake damage may not be the first thing you think of while building your dream home, it’s an incredibly important factor.
From a safety perspective, it is essential to have a home with the strength in its structure to stay strong and undamaged in an earthquake. Some older homes, particularly those made from bricks and mortar can be prone to damage and even falling rubble in an earthquake. Having confidence in the internal structure of your home means you’ll always feel safe, no matter what Mother Nature throws your way.
On top of the added safety of a home build to withstand an earthquake, these homes are also a great financial investment. If there is a destructive earthquake, you won’t be left with a big clean-up bill or need to fix large areas of your home.
