Permanent Fireproofing the exteriors of the replacement buildings!!

$200,000.00 building partially damaged around the exterior: $20,000.00-$50,000.00, total.
Difference: $150,000.00-$180,000.00, plus saved interior property, plus saved $200,000.00 (minimum) rebuilding costs.
"Pot of Gold": $350,000.00-$380,000.00!!
Frees up Credit and Investors, Lenders, Insurers, builds confidence for Community Leaders, Builders, Building Designers, Construction Trades, Firefighters, First Responders, Buyers, etc.
