Cement is among the oldest materials people have built with. CorPanel brings many features together in one panel. Where most sandwich panels have a soft foam core, CorPanel keeps a solid one through its CorCell™ matrix, while remaining significantly lighter than solid precast concrete of the same thickness.
A building should be an inheritance, not a debt.
Across North America, much of what we build is made to be replaced. Buildings rise on borrowed money, wear out within a lifetime, and are renovated, refinanced or rebuilt, each round on new debt. A development that ought to carry equity from one generation to the next carries liability instead.
The owner, the one who risks the capital, is the catalyst of every development. The building should work for him or her over the long term.
Over fifty years and more, a property's value can look like a steady climb. Separate the land from the building and the picture changes. The land rises. A structure made of short-lived materials falls, through wear and the upkeep it demands. Because the land usually rises faster than the building falls, the total still grows, and the building's decline stays hidden inside it.
Corvea was founded on a different premise: a building should be made to last.
Buildings ought to be made to last generations, and to stay open to the technology of the generations that follow.
There was a time when families carried their property from one generation to the next. Companies did the same, and communities with what they built in common.
We believe a nation built on infrastructure made to last borrows less to rebuild what it already had, and passes on works that hold their worth. At the very least, it spends less to keep them standing.
This is freedom.
Not to burden our families, our communities or our nation with debt.
Whether a home or corporation, you own the business model. It is yours to keep.
Essential goods are most secure when they are made near the people who use them.
Corvea's midterm goal is production of its own, across the United States and in Alberta. It will be paid for by revenue, not by debt: the panels Corvea supplies today fund the production lines of tomorrow. As each line opens, orders for its region move to it.
Corvea designs and supplies CorPanel, one panel system for the whole enclosure of a building, inside and out. It works with technology providers, who build with CorPanel, train installation crews and advise project teams, and with authorized distributors in their regions.
