Innovative System

SABS Is More Than a Material It's a Fully Engineered System

Built on advanced finite element engineering and backed by ICC-ES approvals, the Saebi Alternative Building System (SABS) integrates advanced composite materials, high-precision construction methods, and data-driven performance validation.

Composite Core

A structural sandwich of EPS foam and proprietary SABSCRETE, creating a monolithic, high-strength envelope.

Digitally Engineered

Every project is designed using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to optimize structural behavior before construction begins.

Tested & Certified

Compliant with 2006-2024 IBC, CBC, IRC, LABC, FBC, and seismic codes worldwide. Approved for seismic zones, hurricane regions, and wildfire-prone areas.

All-in-One System

Walls, floors, and roofs, SABS replaces conventional framing, insulation, sheathing, and vapor barriers with a single, integrated shell.

SABS: A Revolutionary Building System

SABS is a smart composite system using Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) and SABSCRETE, a proprietary structural coating. Together, they create a monolithic building envelope that outperforms wood, steel, and concrete while dramatically reducing environmental impact, delivering long-term affordability without compromising performance or durability.Our building process blends data-driven modeling, modular engineering, and on-site adaptability, accelerating project timelines and eliminating waste. Designed for disaster resilience, SABS structures provide superior resistance to fire, seismic activity, wind, and moisture, offering safer, more reliable buildings in high-risk environments. From single-family homes to large-scale commercial applications, our technology scales intelligently, minimizing labor, maximizing efficiency, and lowering total cost of ownership.

Certification + Approvals

Designed to Meet Code. Approved to Build.

From the beginning, Dr. Nasser Saebi wanted to create a way to end homelessness throughout the world. That means making a product that could withstand the rigorous process of getting accredited and certified by various organizations.

SABS has withstood the rigorous testing and has proven its reliability in seismic-prone regions, hurricane-prone areas, and its compliance with strict structural integrity, fire-resistance, and energy efficiency standards.

Testimonial

We moved in last September 2021,” said Shirley and Tad Halladay of their new SABS home. “The average cost of an average stick house in southern Utah was around $267 square foot. This house cost me around $100 a square foot. So, it cost about $310,000 to build this 3,200 square foot house including the 1,008-square-foot garage. This is with 12-foot ceilings on the first floor and 10-foot on the second. After we were done the insurance agency appraised to replace it at $780,000. Not bad.

For Future Builders

Whether you're building a home, a multi-unit development, or a commercial facility, SABS simplifies construction from the ground up. Lightweight materials and a streamlined system make building faster, safer, and more cost-efficient across project types.

By reducing complexity and eliminating many traditional building steps, SABS helps you save time, lower costs, and deliver long-lasting, high-performance structures.

We offer hands-on training and certification for contractors, developers, and owner-builders looking to integrate the SABS system into residential or commercial projects.
