Background: The company is harnessing the power of timber bamboo, technology, and industrialized construction techniques to decarbonize the built world. By sustainably utilizing timber bamboo’s strength to green engineer a fully customizable, code-compliant, studless dual-wall framing solution. We provide a framing solution that is stronger, greener, thermally superior, healthier, safer, quieter, and more quickly installed than any other conventional building method and material available today. The company currently has a single product line with about a dozen flavors (modest differences between the flavors with relatively little cost or sales price differences.) Currently the company manufactures and then custom fabricates its panelized walls for customers and volumes are small.
