We work with FORTIFIED Home™ Contractors

Created by the Institute for Business and Home Safety, FORTIFIED Home™ is a set of engineering and building standards to design and construct homes to a higher standard than most building codes. The FORTIFIED Home™ program offers a package of “code-plus” upgrades that greatly increase a new home’s resistance to natural perils, including hurricane, tornado, wildfire, flood, freezing weather, hail and earthquake, as well as to fire and interior water damage. Specifically, FORTIFIED requirements strengthen a home’s outer envelope – notably roof and wall systems, doors, glazed openings and foundation. Aran & Franklin Engineering is proud to be the exclusive engineer in Texas to provide specifications, design and inspections for the Fortified…for safer living® program.
