FAQs on Bomb Shelters and Panic and Safe Rooms

Any home, any wall, any room can be made bullet proof with a special stucco like coating. Ask us for details. We can transform any closet or room into a safe room or panic room. These are for ground invasions. We offer a heavy duty AR 500 bullet proof steel hatch. Bomb shelters we provide are modular square fallout shelters installed underground with air purification systems, bed rooms, gas tight doors, contamination showers, and an escape hatch. We have several models. We also offer a DIY kit to make your own as well as sell our Swiss made air purifiers. Ideally if you’re interested in a bomb shelter underground you would want to plan on putting it under the house before you pour the foundation. If considering adding one to your existing home in the backyard contact us for different models offered so you can make sure you have enough room or what other solutions may be available.

If a permit is involved it can take 45-60 days to get issued before we can build.

We typically start with geotechnical reports so that we can find out what type of soil we’re building on. Then we get an idea of what type of floor plan the Homeowner is looking for. We have our Architect draft a sketch based off of the feedback the Homeowner has given. Once we get that red line and changed the way the homeowner likes it, we then submit for a permit.

Permitting to take 30 to 60 days or longer. Once permitting is received, we break ground.
