A team of experienced ground professionals provides total support from the designer's perspective.

The ground business services of Inhabitant Business provide a one-stop solution from investigation to construction and warranty. We conduct ground surveys, analyze and determine results, prepare construction estimates, and then provide reinforcement work to the client. We also offer ground warranty as aftercare. We respond through a network of 74 ground companies nationwide. The ground assessments from partner companies are double-checked by ground engineers from Inhabitant Business (automatically providing a second opinion). Additionally, ground warranty is automatically included. There are no exemptions due to slope angles, and we also address ground accidents caused by retaining walls; it is applicable to non-residential properties as well. This is a top-class ground warranty in the industry.

• Site and ground investigation

We will solve any ground-related issues in case of emergency. "The house is leaning" "I want to remove the piles."

We will serve as a consultation point in the event of any uneven settlement and provide support until resolution. We also offer guarantees after settlement correction. Additionally, we accept orders for the extraction of existing piles.

• Other earthworks, foundation works, and exterior floors

We support the structural design work of designers with a wide range of business areas!

Along with the mandatory compliance with energy-saving standards in 2025, the special exception for Type 4 will be significantly reduced. After the enforcement in April 2025, structural examinations will be conducted for two-story wooden houses, except for some small-scale buildings, and the attachment of structural-related documents will be required. Therefore, our company will provide assistance with structural calculations (allowable stress calculations). Additionally, if our internal capacity for wall quantity calculations (frame calculations) is saturated, please feel free to consult with us.

• Structural Design Office

Leave the energy-saving calculations for new houses and obtaining the BELS evaluation certificate to us!

Are you making progress on measures for the "2024 Problem"? The management of drivers' working hours is becoming stricter, and in the logistics field, reducing "waiting time for loading" has become an urgent issue. To address this challenge, our company, Hotron, proposes the "Vehicle Detection Ultrasonic Sensor 'HM-UX2'," which instantly grasps the availability of loading bays. The 'HM-UX2' contributes to the resolution of waiting times by accurately understanding the availability status, reducing unnecessary waiting and queuing, and shortening waiting times, thereby alleviating the burden on drivers! By replacing the "eyes" of your loading bay management with this high-precision sensor, why not start taking measures against the "2024 Problem"? Take a look at the product features: "Can it accurately detect availability?" "Can we really use it in our company?" "I just want to know the cost, even if it's an estimate." If you have any questions or requests, please feel free to consult us first.

The non-contact beam touch sensor "HA-T401/HA-T520" has a compact detection range, making it an ideal automatic door sensor for installation on automatic doors facing narrow corridors or busy streets. Depending on the application and installation location, you can choose between "non-vision mounting type" and "non-vision built-in type." 【Features】 ● With the beam touch sensor, you can open and close the automatic door simply by bringing your hand close without touching it, ensuring hygiene. ● Depending on the installation environment, such as single sliding or bi-parting doors, the detection range can be set in four configurations: left, center, right, and a total of 12 spots. ● Two types of activation row settings are available to reduce unnecessary opening and closing of the automatic door due to cross traffic, contributing to energy-saving effects. ● The touch switch and infrared sensor are integrated, allowing for a switch between beam touch and infrared sensor with a single model. 【Recommended for such locations!】 ☑ Entrance facing a busy corridor ☑ Counter or sign near the door ☑ Buildings facing narrow corridors ☑ Buildings that prioritize aesthetics ☑ Hospitals and facilities that consider hygiene ☑ Large facilities with many doors ◎ For more details, please download the materials or contact us.

Japan is one of the top 10 countries in the world with frequent earthquakes. The 2020 White Paper on Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has also reported an increase in the probability of major earthquakes occurring. Regarding the Nankai Trough earthquake, the probability of an earthquake with a magnitude of 8 to 9 occurring within the next 30 years is estimated to be 70 to 80%. At Hotron, we recommend the introduction of seismic devices for earthquake countermeasures in buildings and equipment. The seismic device 'HK-2' is a product that automatically performs various controls that have been pre-set when it detects strong shaking equivalent to a seismic intensity of 5 lower or higher. For example, it can automatically execute actions such as: "Open automatic doors and gates to secure evacuation routes and access for emergency vehicles" "Transmit signals to the control room and stop facility equipment" "Unlock the keys to locked lockers" "Automatically play voice guidance" For more details, please download the materials or contact us.
