Avant Garde and Renco shape the future of the construction industry nationwide

For over a century, the building industry has remained unchanged, often favoring tradition over innovation. Avant Garde Partners, the forward-thinking consortium of experts ranging from analysts, lawyers to builders, is elated to announce its groundbreaking partnership with Renco USA—a company holding the game-changing patent in the realm of building technology.

“Many have tried to innovate via the likes of 3D printing, Modular etc… but the true revolution is about rewriting the rulebook. Renco has done just that, and we’re here to ensure the world takes notice by contributing in this partnership,” says Eddy Chabli, Managing Member of Avant Garde Partners.

“The building industry has remained a constant over the past 100 years. Innovation was lacking and structures have been codified, designed and constructed using only wood, concrete or steel….it was time for Real Innovation,” says Tom Murphy Jr, principal of Coastal Construction.

The heart of this revolutionary breakthrough is Renco’s composite building system: Renco MCFR (Mineral Composite Fiber Reinforced)

Renco MCFR is a state-of-the-art structural building system of interlocking composite building units of various types and sizes of blocks, columns, beams, joists, headers, decking, connectors, etc. These products are all adhesively joined (chemically bonded) to form monolithic structures. The Renco Structural Building System has been evaluated in ANSI certified laboratories to ASTM standards for structural performance, physical characteristics, and fire resistance. After thorough evaluation, IAPMO-UES approved and issued its Evaluation Report to permit the use of Renco Structural Building System under the IBC (International Building Code).

Currently approved for Seismic Design Categories (SDC) A and B, they expect to achieve SDC C, D and E classifications by the end of Q3 2023.

The Renco Structural Building System currently can include up to five story structures. Through continued research and development, expanded approvals are in process, with full approval to build up to eight stories expected by the end of 2023. As 95% of all Americans live in 8 stories or less, they believe this next level of approval will open an incredible amount of opportunity for use of this revolutionary product.

This alternative to wood, concrete, and steel isn’t just an innovation; it’s a major change in the industry. Its interlocking design, drawn from untapped technological advances of recycled glass and plastics, offers unparalleled strength, sustainability, fire resistance, and most importantly, cost and time efficiency. It’s approved in all 50 states after almost a decade of research and testing.

Avant Garde identified Renco as exactly that. “We believe this system’s simplicity, origin of recyclable materials and ease of use makes it the revolutionary product we’ve been seeking. We’re also happy to welcome our contributing partners, Align Ventures, and Dezer Development. We feel this will prove to be the future disruption of construction as Tesla was to the automotive industry,” says Eddy Chabli, of Avant Garde Partners.
