Atlantis Federation Inc. is revolutionizing affordable housing in Jacksonville through innovative construction technology. Using cutting-edge Structural Concrete Insulated Panels (SCIPs) from GCT, we’re bringing hurricane-resistant, energy-efficient housing solutions to our community.

“We chose GCT’s innovative panel system because it allows us to build safer, more energy-efficient homes while reducing construction time and costs,” explains Adam Cohen, Founder and President of Atlantis Federation. “This means we can provide high-quality, durable housing to our community members more efficiently than ever before.”

Advanced Construction Technology

The GCT SCIP system represents a significant advancement over traditional construction methods. These panels are manufactured using M2 Machinery from Italy and have been rigorously tested, earning Technical Evaluation Report (TER) certification from DrJ Engineering. Each panel demonstrates remarkable structural capacity, with single 10-foot panels capable of supporting more than 20,000 pounds per foot.
