About Safe Arbor & Instatec
California-based Safe Arbor, the leader in efficient structure framing solutions, has developed a suite of patented technologies for a modular building system. The Instatec System represents a transformative evolution in building and construction. Instatec is the first-ever Three Dimensional Oriented Strand Board (3D OSB) modular building system that enables a faster, more cost-effective residential and commercial build, while leveraging the forest waste supply chain.
Instatec’s unique, patent protected panel design system is the result of years of research, development, and engineering expertise from Safe Arbor’s team of award-winning industrial and product designers. Safe Arbor also partners with The Voiland College of Engineering and Architecture at Washington State University to perfect and test structural and material engineering. Throughout the Instatec development process, Safe Arbor received expansive feedback from industry leaders seeking smart, faster, better built, more affordable framing solutions for construction. These expert insights from Safe Arbor’s Advisory Network keeps us ahead of the curve regarding best practices for construction efficiency, sustainability, and addressing prevailing challenges and opportunities in the construction industry.
Instatec panels are made from small diameter timber and as well as other forms of forest waste that currently lay fallow on forest floors, increasing the chance for wildfires. Using the first-ever 3D oriented strand board (3D OSB), Instatec panels are fire-resistant, energy efficient, and reflect perfected construction techniques, combined with our “forest-waste supply chain” will provide the most affordable, carbon-neutral building solutions on the planet. Simply stated, the Instatec System will enable developers to build high-quality, longer lasting residential and commercial structures better, faster, less expensively, and more efficiently than prevailing construction methods.
Safe Arbor is led by CEO, Founder & Chief Vision Officer Michael Neumayr. Michael is a graduate of the prestigious Art Center Europe, and served as an Adjunct Faculty member at Art Center College of Design, Pasadena. Michael is an internationally-recognized, award-winning industrial designer with decades of experience including high end work in the automotive, furniture, and home industries.
