The aftermath of Hurricanes Helene and Milton has made the urgent need for resilient building solutions clearer than ever. On the latest episode of the podcast hosted by Lisa Miller, former Florida Deputy Insurance Commissioner, our very own Scott Lidberg of NEXGEN Building Products joined Lisa, along with Fred Malik, Managing Director of the Fortified Program at the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety (IBHS), and Marshall Gobuty, Founder and President at Pearl Homes Developments, to discuss how innovations in building materials are creating fortified homes that can withstand harsh conditions.
Scott shared his expertise on how MAXTERRA® MgO panels are revolutionizing the construction industry by providing enhanced fire resistance, durability, and sustainability. During the episode, Scott emphasized the importance of using modern building materials that not only strengthen our homes but also contribute to safer, more sustainable communities. The discussion highlighted the critical role these innovations play in protecting families and properties from the growing threats posed by climate change.
A key takeaway from Scott was how building with MAXTERRA® MgO panels can significantly enhance resilience against fire and moisture—two of the biggest challenges in modern construction. He pointed out that communities adopting resilient building practices proactively can reduce their risk exposure and enjoy greater peace of mind. For instance, projects integrating these panels are more likely to remain intact during extreme environmental conditions, minimizing both the physical and financial impacts of disasters.
NEXGEN is committed to leading the charge in delivering tomorrow's building solutions today. Scott's insights in the podcast make it clear that innovations like MAXTERRA® MgO panels are making a real difference in our journey toward safer, more resilient building practices.
