Patents for the method have been registered in Japan, the United States, Russia, the Philippines, Indonesia and Thailand, and applications have been filed in other countries. The company developed the “I.D.S-8 model construction method,” which uses the structural materials of the widely adopted two-by-four construction method in North America, Oceania and other regions to create the “post-and-beam frame system” and “traditional joint connections” of Japan’s conventional construction method, and constructed and sold detached houses using the method in Russia’s Primorye region. The company is conducting improvement activities to develop regional strategies suited to the method’s characteristics and improve constructability. Patents for the method have been registered in Japan, Russia, the United States and Canada, and applications have been filed in other countries.」

「Patents for the method have now been registered in Indonesia, in addition to Japan, the United States, Russia and the Philippines, and applications have been filed in other countries.」

「For the “IG Strong CB construction method,” the company established a block manufacturing plant in West Java, Indonesia, began producing and supplying its original concrete block products, and began constructing housing using the method.」

「The company is continuing its research with the aim of making effective use of the method in Japan and expanding its applications beyond residential construction methods.」

「The company has begun producing and supplying its original concrete block products at the block manufacturing plant it built in West Java, Indonesia, for use of its proprietary “concrete block construction method” in Indonesia.」

「The block manufacturing plant under construction in West Java, Indonesia, for use of the company’s proprietary “concrete block construction method,” developed for housing construction in hot, humid countries with climates and environments different from Japan’s, has now been completed. The new plant has an annual supply capacity of approximately 400 homes. Going forward, the company will efficiently produce and supply its original concrete block products at the new plant.」

「For the “original concrete block construction method” and “original two-by-four (I.D.S-8 model) construction method” developed in-house mainly for the overseas housing business, the company conducted full-scale seismic vibration tests from 1 to 8 August 2017 at the vibration testing facility of the Public Works Research Institute, a national research and development agency, in Tsukuba, Ibaraki Prefecture, demonstrating their high seismic performance.」

「For the 2 construction methods developed in-house mainly for the overseas housing business and demonstrated by full-scale seismic vibration tests in August 2017 to have high structural load-bearing performance, the company is preparing to begin using the “original concrete block (IG Strong CB) construction method” in the ASEAN region and the “original two-by-four (I.D.S-8 model) construction method” in Russia’s Primorye region this spring by establishing systems for supplying original components and providing guidance to local technicians.」

「For housing construction in hot, humid countries with climates and environments different from Japan’s, the company developed its proprietary concrete block construction method, obtained a domestic patent last fiscal year, and is currently applying for an international patent. ② The development has been completed of a construction method that uses the structural materials of the two-by-four method, a “global standard for wooden housing” that is becoming widespread in North America, Oceania and other regions of Asia, to achieve the “post-and-beam frame system” and “traditional joint connections” characteristic of Japan’s conventional construction methods.」

「For housing construction in hot, humid countries with climates and environments different from Japan’s, the company developed its proprietary concrete block construction method, received a domestic patent grant decision in December 2016, and is currently applying for an international patent. ② The company is developing a “new wood-based construction method” with greater overseas adaptability than the conventional post-and-beam construction method it uses in Japan, and filed a domestic patent application in November 2016. ③ The development of “mobile wood-processing equipment,” intended to supply high-quality wooden homes in areas without wood-processing plants without relying on the skills of on-site technicians, has been substantially completed.」

「For the “development of construction methods for overseas expansion” adapted to climates and environments different from Japan’s and to the skills of local technicians, the company has continued since the previous fiscal year to prepare specific proposals and repeatedly conduct partial trials, one-building trials and structural load-bearing tests to verify their effectiveness, with the aim of completing the methods.」

「For the “development of construction methods for overseas expansion” adapted to climates and environments different from Japan’s and to the skills of local technicians, the company is working on an overall evaluation, identifying areas for improvement and formulating countermeasures based on the results of the pilot building constructed last fiscal year in Shimajiri District, Okinawa Prefecture, and other information.」
