A simple way to look at it: A DEVELOPER hires a CONTRACTOR who employs one or more FOREMEN who oversee and inspect the work done by the SPECIALTY WORKERS (Sub-Contractors).

There appears to be a complete misunderstanding of how difficult it would be to copy the MAS™ system without having access to the MAS™ engineering analytical models.
MAS™ has developed a sophisticated engineering model based around its own mathematical algorithms using finite element analysis. MAS™ has been designed using “thin shell structural” analysis and there are just a handful of engineers in the world that understand and can operate with the advanced constraints involved with thin shell structures.
Even that handful of engineers could NOT reverse ...

As a contractor you are familiar with building. What you need to learn is how to fit the MAS™ system into your existing method of construction. To start with you will need to understand how to bid the project. This will include determining the quantity and cost of forms and the labor time and skills required. MAS™ provides calculators to help a contractor prepare bids. Many contractors use these calculators initially to understand the feasibility of using the MAS™ system ...

Producibility: A term used to describe the ability of contractors to bid on a project proposal.
Although the MAS™ system is new to many contractors, MAS™ provides a “T2” training class that is specifically designed to educate a contractor on the MAS™ system and all aspects necessary to prepare a qualified, responsive and financially viable bid.

MAS™ EMPLOYS A SOPHISTICATED ELECTRONIC LICENSE VERIFICATION SYSTEM TO PREVENT THE THEFT OF THE MAS™ INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, REGISTRATIONS, AND PATENTS (PENDING AND ISSUED).
See the following area of the MAS™ website area for more information on the MASTronic™: http://www.modernarchstructures.com/technology/mas-licensing/mastronics-embedded-rfid-license-tracking-device
MAS™ will actively pursue and prosecute, to the MAXIMUM EXTENT OF THE LAW, any violations of the MAS™ intellectual property, registrations and patents (pending and issued) throughout the world under international treaties as well as local laws, statutes, agreements, and registrations.
A ADELS Fee ...
Continue Reading →The reason the MAS™ system is so easy to build is because of three primary factors, one of which is training.
MAS™ does NOT grant exclusive territories, however MAS™ does allow the MAS Distributor to decide whether to allow one or more MAS Distributors to operate in an area if they are the holder of an MAS Distributor “A”rea certification. So in essence this is exclusivity, but such exclusivity is granted by the MAS Distributors in the area.
There are many positive business reasons that would benefit multiple MAS Distributors to operate co-jointly in an area. MAS™ leaves this decision up to the individual MAS Distributors.
The ...
Continue Reading →This depends on the PFAD designation being requested. The PFAD designations are listed below. To receive an “A”rea, “F”ield, or “D”epartment MAS Distributor designation requires significantly more work than receiving a “P”roject MAS Distributor designation. MAS Distributor “P”roject designations are routinely given by MAS™ to Contractors so they can incorporate the MAS™ system into their project. It is rare for MAS™ to grant an MAS Distributor “P”roject designation to someone other than a Contractor. MAS often refers to Contractors who also function as a MAS Distributor on their ...
Continue Reading →There is NO exclusivity, however a MAS Distributor can receive a geographical region and no other MAS Distributor can operate in that region without permission from the MAS Distributor that has been given that area. In essence, this is exclusivity while allowing MAS™ to accept others if a MAS Distributor cannot provide the level of service being demanded in such area.
A “geographical area” is just one of four arenas that a MAS Distributor can receive an authorization for. MAS™ calls this a “FAD” designation.
