The ultimate blend of safety and sustainability!

Experience the extraordinary structural capabilities of RedRider’s BoltLama building method, utilizing stacked beams and bolting to create an entire building that acts as a moment frame. Our building system can withstand earthquakes, hurricanes, and tornadoes, making it truly resilient. It's fire-resistant in both directions and requires no concrete making it one of the eco-friendliest homes you can build.

In addition to its strength and durability, our building system is also prefabricated, making it easy to assemble or disassemble in just a few days, like a premanufactured home. It's also the greenest building system available, as it stores carbon and leaves a low carbon footprint, built like a cabin with sustainable redwood timber.

With three patents backing up our claims, there's no other building system on the market that can match the unique capabilities of the RedRider BoltLama method.

You can shake it but you can’t break it. Huff and puff, can’t blow it down. Built to withstand the heat of any inferno.

We are finalizing design touches on an automated CNC DRILLING MACHINE. It has 8 spindles (drills) on the gantry and can drill eight beams at same time within two minutes. Robotics are used to load and unload machine. That translates to 2,700 beams per day which is at 34 studio units per day.

“Imagine for a moment that you are huddled with your family in a RedRider house listening closely to the hurricane outside. The roaring noise of a sustained wind speed of 150 mph. Dangerous and scary stuff, but you are in a Safe Shelter. After the storm you open your door to survey what has happened, and you find most of your neighborhood is gone and in tatters. As you walk towards town, you see hundreds of people coming out of the RedRider Community Shelter.” - SH

The RedRider (RR) protocol can provide hurricane protection along with protection from earthquakes, tornadoes and more. It's a newly invented protocol for construction using stacked beams and a bolting array that provides very impressive structural capabilities. It’s far superior to conventional stick framing in cost and capabilities.

The assembly makes the separation of walls and foundation virtually impossible - they become one. It acts as a “vise” and compresses the beams together to form what's called a “Bolt-Lama” the beams are laminated together with bolts to form the walls and the bolts are embedded in concrete. To damage the RR with wind you would have to have wind strong enough to lift the entire house and foundation off the ground because it’s one piece.

Multiple bolts act like a vice between the foundation and beams, creating an impossible to move structure.

In the design, there is access to all the nuts so periodic tightening can be done to insure structural capabilities and control the beams expansion and contraction. In addition, the assembly eliminates the typical problems of air and water infiltration, rot, and checking. The RR prototype was tested at the San Diego Wind Tunnel and we reached 150 mph before facilities drag limit was reached. Handled it with ease.

The RR is Prefabricated – cut the beams to length and then drill holes for the all thread bolts and ship. Beautifully simple. Assembly and disassembly are very easy (only bolts and screws). Reduces construction time by 50% over conventional stick framing. You are free to choose architectural styles and roof types for your new home.

You can use any preformed beam in fact – all species of wood, beams that manufactured out of wood, concrete, plastic, or any other material that can be formed into a beam, can be used with the bolting assembly. Recycled tires and plastic could be perfect materials for sustainable, cheap beam material.

As I delved deeper into the patent filing process for the RedRider, I had a series of epiphanies that completely changed my understanding of the building system. I discovered that every connection point between the rafters, walls, and floors creates a Moment Frame that, when fully tightened, produces an incredible level of rigidity. The walls, rafters, and floor connections all work together to create a single, unbreakable structure that you simply can't shake loose. It's an extraordinary breakthrough that sets the RedRider apart from anything else on the market.
