The Sunway Homes' Difference:

Thank you for your interest in Sunway Homes® Steel Structures.

Building or purchasing a home is one of the most significant decisions in life, and we encourage you to explore all the information on our website to make the best choice for you and your loved ones.

Sunway Homes® is proud to be the inventor of Terra-Steel®, the strongest, safest, greenest, and healthiest home building system available in the world market.

With a legacy dating back to 1980, we have consistently met and exceeded the expectations of our clients.

Our Sunway Homes® system features Pre-Engineered, Pre-Manufactured, Heavy Gauge Steel Structures designed for easy and fast assembly using nuts and bolts. This system incorporates light gauge steel for partition and exterior walls and ceilings, with finishing materials similar to those used in conventional stick-framed homes.

The Sunway Homes® system is similar than the ones manufactured by our main competitors.

The Terra-Steel® System enhances this primary structure by combining heavy gauge, pre-manufactured steel structures with thick, monolithic, rock-solid earth walls and steel-reinforced cement concrete. This synergistic combination creates a fortress capable of withstanding the greatest challenges from Mother Nature, including fire, earthquakes, tornadoes and hurricanes.

Our mission is to build not just a house, but a secure, resilient home for your family.

The Terra-Steel® system is at least 10 times stronger than the Sunway Homes® system, and its rock-solid, thick walls protect you and your loved ones against flying debris in tornadoes and hurricanes.

Also, Terra-Steel® allows for the construction of the healthiest homes by using natural materials like earth instead of chemically treated wood, OSB and synthetic materials that outgas formaldehyde and dangerous vapors.

Additionally, the earth walls absorb humidity, eliminating allergies and preventing brain damage caused by dangerous black mold.

The importance of Terra-Steel Healthy Homes:

The Terra-Steel® earth walls absorb excess humidity, preventing mold and mildew, including Black Mold, which is a major cause of various health issues such as chronic sinus problems, nosebleeds, hypersensitive pneumonitis, mold-induced asthma, skin infections, neurological problems, rashes, fatigue, aches and pains, watery eyes, allergic broncho-pulmonary aspergillosis, sore throat, nausea, and vomiting—all commonly known as “Sick Building Syndrome.”

The Legacy of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi for Sunway Homes’ Steel Structures

In the 1960s, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi gained worldwide recognition, particularly when the Beatles embraced his teachings. His influence resurfaced for me in 2004 when Dr. Benjamin Feldman, Minister of Finance and Planning of the Global Country of World Peace, reached out. This organization, founded on Maharishi’s principles, aimed to construct 130 “Peace Palaces” across the USA, Brazil, and Mexico, each with a budget of $980,000 USD.

The Maharishi Connection

As negotiations advanced, I delved into Maharishi’s philosophy, captivated by his insights and vision. I even began watching his online press conferences daily. A pivotal moment came during a multi-party conference call when an unexpected query arose: “Could we count on you to manufacture and erect 30 Peace Palaces within 150 days?”

I instantly recognized the voice—it was Maharishi Mahesh Yogi himself. This marked the beginning of the most significant project in Sunway Homes’ history. I had to be candid—we lacked the resources for such an extensive undertaking within the proposed timeframe. Maharishi’s next question was straightforward: “What do you need to make it happen?”

Feeling the weight of potentially losing the contract, I mentioned the substantial financial backing required. Maharishi’s response was both surprising and resolute: “I need you to start working today. I want a plan within three days, and I will provide you with a loan. You will repay us with your work. I know, by the sound of your voice, that I can trust you.” He then requested my bank account details.

An Unprecedented Opportunity

The following morning, $650,000 USD appeared in my personal checking account—a loan from someone I had spoken to only once. We swiftly signed a $130 million contract via fax, sending documents to the organization’s main offices in Holland, and commenced manufacturing steel structures the following week.

For two and a half years, we worked tirelessly across the USA, Mexico, and Brazil, never meeting Dr. Feldman or Maharishi in person. It wasn’t until December 2007 that we were invited to their offices in Holland. Maharishi himself spoke warmly of my son Mario Manuel, Sunway Homes’ chief engineer, and me, presenting us with a remarkably generous Christmas gift.

The Lasting Impact of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi’s dedication to creating a better world—a “Heaven on Earth,” as he termed it—remains etched in my memory. His influence sparked a peace movement that contributed to ending the Vietnam War. I will always be in awe of Maharishi’s sharp intellect, unwavering determination, and astounding work capacity, evident in our countless conference calls, where it seemed he tirelessly worked upwards of 20 hours a day—even into his 80s.

In 2008, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi passed away, and the mortgage crisis in the USA led to the cessation of the project by the Maharishi Organization. The financing banks, unable to honor credit contracts, ceased delivering funds, and we were unable to complete the contract.

This legacy project for Sunway Homes’ Steel Structures stands as a testament to the visionary leadership of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and the transformative power of trust and collaboration.

The Strength and Durability of Steel Homes and Buildings

This extraordinary experience highlighted the unparalleled strength and durability of steel homes and buildings. Steel structures offer superior stability, fire resistance, and longevity, making them the ideal choice for ambitious projects like the Peace Palaces. Sunway Homes continues to champion the benefits of steel construction, ensuring that every home and building we create stands the test of time.

In the second article below, the Maharishi organization expresses praise for our work.

It states: “I want to congratulate Mario Aguilera and express how very much we were moved to hear him describe his very tender and trusting relationship with His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, Founder of the Global Country of World Peace, and how he has completely fulfilled Maharishi’s trust in him”.
