Building Engineering Envelope
Engineering First. Products Second.
One panel. Every function. Zero trades. We didn't reinvent the wall to be different — we removed every cost you're already paying.
A new class of modular construction technology
One Panel.
Every Function.
Five trades. Five materials. Five schedules. Replaced by a single engineered panel — flat-packed to site, assembled in hours.
Built in Layers.
Built for Everything.
Every function that used to require a separate trade — engineered into one panel at the factory.
One Envelope. Every Function.
Every wall system is a stack of trades. We didn't improve the stack — we replaced it.
One Panel Replaces All of Them
Brick, timber, steel, SIPs — every wall is a stack of trades. We replaced the stack.
Five Trades Become One
Bricklayers, carpenters, welders, insulators, plasterers — gone. One panel. One trade. One line item.
Engineered, Not Assembled
Services pre-routed. T-slots throughout. No drilling, no chasing, no coordination.
Deploy Anywhere
Flat-pack to anywhere on earth. Unskilled team. Days, not months. No infrastructure needed.
Construction is Broken.
The costs you're absorbing right now. The line items THOM eliminates.
Slow Construction
Brick needs months of wet trades. Timber needs drying time. Steel needs fabrication. US: ~4M home deficit (Freddie Mac). UK: 300K homes/year target. You carry the cost.
Cost Overruns
McKinsey: 98% of megaprojects overrun by 30%+. Flyvbjerg: average 28% overrun across 16,000+ projects. The line items you can't control.
Weather Dependency
Brick can't be laid in frost. Timber warps in damp. THOM has no wet trades.
Embodied Carbon
Brick cavity walls emit c. 70 kg CO₂/m². Timber rots. Steel is energy-intensive. None survive your ESG targets.
Coordination Risk
ABC: US construction must attract 439,000 new workers in 2025. UK faces a growing trades shortfall. Five trades to coordinate. Five things that don't show up.
End-of-Life Design
Aluminium is recyclable as a material; THOM is designed around recovery and reuse, with whole-system lifecycle validation pending.
Five trades. One panel. Every cost above disappears.
Engineered for Partners & Operators
R50 Thermal (Target)
Design target — whole-panel validation pending. Outperforms brick, timber, steel, and SIPs. Steel thermal-bridges — THOM doesn't.
Partner: Designed to exceed regulatory targets with zero insulation trades.
Operator: Designed to cut data centre cooling loads. US and UK housing code-compliant by design.
Acoustic Shield (Testing Underway)
Timber transmits sound. THOM is designed to block it — acoustic validation programme in progress.
Partner: Designed for acoustic compliance in one panel — not a separate contract.
Operator: Designed for secure comms rooms. Confidential briefing spaces. No secondary fit-out.
Fire Validation in Progress
Reaction-to-fire and fire-resistance programmes are in progress; no achieved classification is claimed.
Partner: A defined accredited validation route is being progressed.
Operator: Project-specific fire requirements must be confirmed against validated evidence before specification.
RF & EMF Shielding (Testing Underway)
RF/EM shielding is designed into the panel architecture rather than assumed as an achieved result.
Partner: Designed to support high-performance RF/EM applications without specialist linings — validation pending against the required standard.
Operator: Designed for secure-facility RF/EM applications — validation pending against the relevant project and regulatory requirements.
Rapid Assembly Target
Flat-pack, mechanically assembled and designed to reduce wet-trade dependency. Comparative installation speed remains subject to controlled field evidence.
Partner: Designed to reduce site overhead and weather dependency; realised programme effects remain subject to project and field evidence.
Operator: Designed for rapid deployment scenarios, including defence and remote applications; actual programme duration remains subject to field validation and project requirements.
Recyclable Aluminium Architecture
Aluminium is recyclable as a material and THOM is designed for component recovery; whole-system lifecycle outcomes remain subject to validation.
Partner: Potential circular-economy and embodied-carbon benefits, subject to lifecycle evidence.
Operator: Designed to support circular procurement and material recovery; end-of-life outcomes remain project- and evidence-dependent.
Installed Cost Per m²
Like-for-like: installed price per m² of wall area (supply + installation). THOM commands a premium on raw installed cost — the next slide shows where the real economics live.
THOM & competitor pricing: governed published pricing sources (installed, per m² wall area, UK basis). Empirical benchmarks: BAS Frames UK SFS Guide 2026 (£140–£320/m² through-wall); US Design Estimation 2026 ($12–$40/sq ft). Confirm against current project specifications.
Total Cost of Ownership
Reference: 120m² wall area · £800/day site overhead. Installed cost (supply + install) + site overhead during construction = total build cost.
- Installed Cost
- Site Overhead
No wet trades. No fabrication lead times.
Year-round build. Minimal dependency.
One panel. One trade. One line item.
Aluminium can be recycled repeatedly as a material. THOM whole-system recovery and lifecycle outcomes remain subject to validation. Competitor percentages are external benchmark inputs and should be read in their stated source context.

Housing & Residential
The end of brick & block.
× THE PROBLEM
UK: 300,000 homes a year needed. US: ~4 million home deficit (Freddie Mac, 2024). A trades shortfall growing on both sides of the Atlantic. Brick and block can't close the gap.
⚡ THOM'S ANSWER
Flat-pack, weather-tight in days, finished in weeks — not months. No bricklayers. No plasterers. No weather dependency.
*Cost comparison based on installed pricing per m² wall area (supply + installation).
Data Centres
Thermal failure is not an option.
× THE PROBLEM
The US is the world's largest data centre market — $300B investment announced (2024–2028), 66 GW under construction in North America (JLL). Steel thermal-bridges. Timber can't meet fire compliance. Brick is too slow.
⚡ THOM'S ANSWER
Target c. R50 thermal performance, subject to validation. Modular service integration and flat-pack deployment are design objectives; installation timing must be proven through field validation.
*Cost comparison based on installed pricing per m² wall area (supply + installation).
Portable & Deployable
Go anywhere. Build anything.
× THE PROBLEM
From FEMA disaster relief to DoD forward operating bases — brick, timber, steel, SIPs are all impossible in the field. No infrastructure. No trades. No second chances.
⚡ THOM'S ANSWER
Flat-pack to anywhere. No specialist tools. No heavy machinery. Small team. Standard ISO unit in under a day.
*Cost comparison based on installed pricing per m² wall area (supply + installation).
Container Studio
Beyond the shipping container.
× THE PROBLEM
Containers thermal-fail, transmit sound, and corrode. Conversion doesn't fix the fundamentals — it masks them.
⚡ THOM'S ANSWER
Same ISO-footprint concept with target c. R50 thermal performance and integrated-service intent. Fire performance and installation duration remain subject to validation.
*Cost comparison based on installed pricing per m² wall area (supply + installation).
