Precast Concrete Single Skin Façade
Off-site manufactured façade panels engineered for precision, speed, and a lifetime of performance.
Petrufying the Envelope
Every panel is designed from first principles, integrating structural performance, thermal efficiency, and architectural aesthetics into a single, precision-engineered precast unit.
Unique Connection Detail
Proprietary fiber-composite pin connectors — no anchor bolts, no drilling, no relieving angles and no stainless steel brackets are required. Panels are connected to the structure without creating thermal bridges or corrosion risk.
Factory-Made Precision
Panels can be designed and manufactured up to 14 metres long — fewer joints, fewer connections, less that can go wrong. Longer panels mean faster installation and a cleaner facade finish.
Average factory production rate of 100m² per day. Consistent, weather-independent output that keeps the programme on track regardless of site conditions.
Windows, doors, and balcony brackets are pre-installed at the factory before delivery. One crane lift per panel — 200% fewer lifts compared to traditional construction.
Brick slips are cast in directly into the panel at the factory. No bricklayers needed on site. Clean, consistent finish with no protruding features — bricks and facade in one flat line.
Factory-controlled environment means millimetre tolerances, not centimetre. Every panel identical to the drawing. No variance from site workmanship or weather conditions.
Speed of Installation
Pre-engineered panels mean the critical path is the crane, not the weather, the wet trades, or the labour pool.
Typical installation rate on a standard residential building
One Day Installation per Storey
A full storey of 500m² of facade installed in a single day. Crane lifts complete panels into position — fast, precise, no wet trades required.
Why Single Skin
In comparison with traditional brick outer leaf, our single-skin proposal adds only 2 kN/m of vertical load per storey, which does not require any increase in size of the already designed foundations or additional podium slab depth.
Our design allows the single skin precast panesls to be fully self-supporting and structurally independent during installation. This allows facade erection to proceed in parallel with the main structure, eliminating programme conflicts and ensuring smooth, uninterrupted construction.
Crane lifts the panel, site crew guides it into position. No scaffolding, no wet trades, no complex sequencing. Installation can be completed in a single day.
Eliminates thousands of hardware components in a typical large-scale residential apartment block development, saving hundreds of thousands of euros in materials and specialist installation labour.
No metal or stainless steel components in the proposed connection onto RC slab. No rust, no thermal bridging, no long-term facade maintenance. Lifetime durability — critical for coastal projects and a long-term asset value advantage for any development.
Inside-out installation means no perimeter scaffolding during the structural phase. Saves hundreds of thousands of euros in a typical high rise apartment development and removes months from the programme.
