ABOUT US
At Miniopolis, our mission is to build residential homes that focus on sustainability, energy efficiency, and affordability for a simple yet fulfilling life. We build with you and your impact on Earth in mind.
This company was founded on the grounds of Mother Nature with affordability in mind. Owning a home or investment property is not what it use to be. Everyone wants to feel that they own a piece of land that grows in value while making a positive impact on earth. At Miniopolis, we do both.
VISION
Our vision is to build residential communities that live off the land and the community of like minded individuals. Building sustainably, reducing waste, and recycling to reduce our carbon footprint is our goal.
*THIS IS A NEW CONSTRUCTION PROJECT, NOT CURRENTLY BUILT*
The time has come to reveal our plans to build a Tiny Home Community. We have been working on this project for quite some time and we are thrilled to start. We will be offering site-build tiny homes on concrete slabs using highly efficient material to withstand even the toughest of Florida storms all while reducing waste and limiting our carbon footprint.

Structural insulated panels (SIPS)
Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) are pre-manufactured panels used in construction that consist of a layer of insulation sandwiched between two structural facings, typically made of magnesium board. They are used for walls, roofs, and floors in residential and commercial buildings.
Key Benefits of SIPs:
- Energy Efficiency: SIPs provide superior insulation, reducing energy costs for heating and cooling.
- Speed of Construction: They can be quickly assembled on-site, reducing overall construction time.
- Strength and Durability: SIPs offer strong structural integrity, which can lead to increased resistance to wind and seismic forces.
- Reduced Waste: Manufacturing SIPs in a factory setting minimizes waste compared to traditional framing methods.
Insulated Concrete Form (ICF)
ICF stands for Insulated Concrete Forms, which are a type of building system used for constructing walls. ICFs consist of interlocking modular units made of expanded polystyrene (EPS) or other insulation materials that serve as forms for pouring concrete. Once the concrete is poured, the forms remain in place, providing insulation on both sides of the wall.
Key Benefits of ICF:
- Energy Efficiency: ICF walls have high thermal mass and excellent insulation properties, leading to reduced heating and cooling costs.
- Strength and Durability: The concrete core provides structural strength and durability, making ICF buildings resistant to natural disasters, such as hurricanes and earthquakes.
- Sound Insulation: ICFs offer superior soundproofing compared to traditional wood-frame construction.
- Fire Resistance: Concrete has a high fire resistance rating, enhancing the safety of buildings.
- Quick Construction: ICF systems can be quicker to assemble than traditional methods, as the forms are lightweight and easy to handle.
3D Concrete Printing (3DCP)
Offsite 3D printing technology represents a revolutionary advancement in the building industry, particularly for creating resilient housing solutions. This innovative process utilizes large-scale 3D printers to fabricate entire homes from durable materials, ensuring they are engineered to withstand extreme weather conditions, including Category 5 hurricanes.
These homes are designed with aerodynamics and structural integrity in mind, featuring reinforced walls and roofs that can endure high winds and flying debris. The materials used often include advanced composites and concrete mixes, which provide both strength and flexibility.
One of the key advantages of this technology is the speed of assembly. Homes can be printed in a matter of days, significantly reducing construction time compared to traditional methods. Once printed, the structure can be transported to their final location and assembled quickly, often requiring minimal on-site labor. This efficiency not only helps address housing shortages but also reduces costs and waste.
By combining cutting-edge technology with a focus on resilience, this approach to home construction is poised to offer safe, affordable, and sustainable housing solutions in areas prone to severe weather. See our 3D Printed 3/2 model in the animation below.
