Patented House Lifting Role Out - Flood Relief solutions In 2018 I was approached by long time buddy (20 yrs+) Paul Nieves (1/4 principal owner of Savannah Custom Homes)& now a professional associate, about a unique house lifting technique that will revolutionize the House Lifting/ Flood relief industry and currently under patent review. My initial feedback (as intrigued as I was)“its a neat idea, but just an idea at this juncture” and I couldn’t see myself making career shift on just a idea. “However, if the patent comes back supported and verified ... give me call”. That was then...In 2022 the patent did not only come back verified and registered, but two more patents were created to protect the first patent. I was now in a position and motivated to fully commit my personal support and professional contributions to Noah’s Arkitecture , the platform for developing and launching a role out plan with a more efficient and cost value solution for house lifting / flood relief opportunities Next stops: Federal Review and FEMA preferred provider relationships.
