Fornidos's Foundation is Technology
International Code Council
The International Code Council (ICC) is a nonprofit organization that develops and publishes building codes and standards used across the United States and globally to ensure safe, sustainable, and resilient construction. Founded in 1994 through the merger of three regional code organizations, the ICC creates the International Codes (I-Codes), a comprehensive set of model building codes covering areas like structural safety, fire prevention, plumbing, energy efficiency, and accessibility. These codes are adopted or adapted by state and local governments to regulate construction and ensure public safety.
The ICC also provides training, certification programs, and technical resources for building professionals, code officials, and architects. Its mission emphasizes advancing safe and innovative building practices while addressing modern challenges like climate resilience and affordability
Why ESR-5284 Matters?
The ESR-5284, issued by the ICC Evaluation Service, is the cornerstone of Fornidos’ HomeSystem, certifying our 24 factory-built panels as the nation’s first ICC-compliant system for assembling homes that meet International Building Code (IBC) and International Residential Code (IRC) standards. Unlike traditional factory-built homes, which represent just 10% of U.S. construction and face slow growth due to specialized designs, engineering, equipment, workers, and restrictive permitting and zoning, our HomeSystem revolutionizes homebuilding with panels that qualify as standard stick-built construction.
Homeowners benefit from safe, mortgage-eligible homes built in days, customizable across hundreds of floor plans, ensuring affordability and durability.
Builders achieve seamless permitting and inspections nationwide, saving time and labor costs by using standard tools and lower-skilled workers for rapid assembly.
Municipalities streamline approvals without costly code changes, supporting housing solutions with minimal resources.
Investors gain confidence in a scalable, market-ready system, backed by 70 years of expertise, poised to lead the $153B global prefab market.
ESR-5284, Fornidos delivers speed, accessibility, and trust, empowering communities to address the 3.8 million home shortage
