About Us

We combined an Imperial College London project in partnership with one of the fastest growing companies in the UK called Concrete Canvas to develop manufacturing technology to pre-fabricate flat-packed concrete structures.

Our products are easily transported, installed and maintained yet priced below traditional concrete alternatives.

We use an innovative concrete fabric material, developed by our partner Concrete Canvas, which has been under continuous development for almost 20 years. We have exclusive access to the material and development team, allowing us to have the resources to push innovation into our products and industry.

We are also developing a new product range using newer version of the material from Concrete Canvas called CCX, which will allow us to be even more cost-effective. We are also supplying instant slabs for a variety of uses and continuing to develop new features.

Previous concrete infrastructure solutions were bulky and labour intensive which meant having to always be produced locally or on site. Our new approach opens up global markets which are ripe for disruption, offering huge commercial opportunities which also provide a positive social impact.

We are just getting started on our journey to disrupt a fragmented industry and improve people’s lives around the globe - do you want to be part of it?
