Short answer: Reinforced structural systems, stronger roof detailing, impact-resistant glazing, improved
drainage, waterproofing strategy, site grading, backup electrical systems, and protective exterior
systems for openings.
Why it matters: Resilience is often treated as a single line item (“hurricane protection”) when it’s
actually a set of separate decisions spread across structure, envelope, and site design.
What to check:
● Ask which of these resilience elements are already included in your base construction quote
● Confirm impact-resistant glazing and opening-protection systems are budgeted for specifically
● Ask about site grading and drainage — often overlooked but critical during heavy rain events
Bottom line: A storm-ready home isn’t one feature — it’s several decisions made together, and pricing
them individually avoids surprises later.
