BlueView Builder Introduces WPH Fire Resiliency Option for Select Steel-Framed Modular Homes
United States, 7th Oct 2026 – BlueView Builder (https://blueviewbuilder.com/) today announced the availability of a Wildfire Prepared Home Plus (WPH+) fire resiliency option for select steel-framed modular homes. The WPH+ standard, developed by the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS), is a science-based mitigation designation designed to help protect properties from high-intensity flames, radiant heat, and wind-blown embers.
BlueView Builder’s steel framing provides a foundation of fire resilience compared with traditional wood-framed construction. The new WPH+ package builds on that foundation by incorporating a comprehensive suite of proven wildfire defenses.
“Our steel framing offers superior fire resilience compared with traditional wood framed buildings. We now take this an additional step and offer a full WPH+ package on installed homes and ADUs” said Phil Georgiades, CEO of BlueView Builder.
The WPH+ option includes Class A fire-rated roofs, a continuous 5-foot non-combustible perimeter (Zone Zero) around the home, and ember-resistant vents. These foundational measures are enhanced with rigorous structural defenses that help the home withstand direct flame contact and radiant heat, reducing the risk of structure-to-structure fire spread.
Key WPH+ Features Available on Select BlueView Steel-Framed Modular Homes Include:
- Multi-pane tempered glass windows and fire-rated exterior doors engineered to resist heat-induced shattering
- Non-combustible exterior wall siding materials paired with covered metal gutters
- Enclosed eaves, lower-level decks protected with non-combustible materials, and attached wooden fences or outbuildings relocated away from the main structure
- Steel Framed construction
- Fire Sprinkler system
Insurance and Financial Advantages
Insurance carriers increasingly recognize WPH+ certification as a top-tier resilience measure, which can qualify homeowners for premium discounts. In addition, many post-fire rebuilding initiatives and regional resilience grant programs use the WPH+ standard as a benchmark. Upgrading to this level typically adds only a minor percentage to total construction costs while substantially lowering future wildfire risk.
By combining non-combustible steel framing with the full WPH+ package, BlueView Builder is delivering modular homes purpose-built for California’s wildfire-prone regions—homes that are faster to construct, more sustainable, and significantly more resilient.
