FASTER, WITH LESS RISK, NOT MORE.
FASTER, WITH LESS RISK, NOT MORE.
Scalable, panelized building systems that deliver sustainable, repeatable results, helping developers complete projects faster, with greater cost certainty, consistent quality, and less construction risk than traditional methods.
Built indoors for precision and repeatability, our panels reduce rework, tighten the building envelope, and make the path from concept to occupancy simpler and more predictable.
The result: a dependable, high-performance approach that strengthens budgets, schedules, and long-term building value.

TURN YOUR ENVELOPE INTO A POWERFUL FINANCIAL ADVANTAGE.
An envelope built from certified Passive House panels isn’t just about performance, it supports better financing through CMHC MLI Select.
Speed = Money
What a faster schedule saves
Illustrative, on construction financing:
Every week saved on a $60M build @ 7% ≈ $8,000
~40% compression on a 12-mo build (~21 wks) ≈ $170,000
Plus earlier revenue & lower risk exposure ✓

The assembly
Look inside the panel
Every Quantum panel arrives as one piece, with these layers already assembled in the factory. Pick a system, then pick a layer.
Choose a system
THX — Thermal eXtreme
LCX — Low Carbon Exterior
NCX — Non-Combustible Exterior
Maximum thermal performance, for new construction.
THX carries a 3.5″ service cavity on the warm side of the air barrier, so wiring and plumbing never puncture it. That's what takes the wall to R-61.1 — and why selected configurations are PHI certified for cold climates.
Best for New homes · Multi-family · Commercial · Passive House & Net Zero
Upgrade the envelope without rebuilding the building.
LCX wraps an existing wall in the same double-stud assembly as THX, without the service cavity. Airtightness, continuous insulation and an integrated rainscreen arrive as one panel, over most existing cladding and structure — up to R-57.3.
Best for Deep-energy retrofits · Residential · Institutional · Commercial
Non-combustible retrofit, for fire-sensitive façades.
Steel studs with mineral wool and fibreglass make the whole assembly non-combustible. You still get the same airtight membrane and integrated rainscreen — on buildings where the fire rating decides the detail.
Best for Multi-family · Institutional · Commercial · Fire-sensitive façades
01 Wood-framed service cavity
A 3.5″ cavity on the warm side for wiring and plumbing, so services never puncture the airtight layer. Left empty or insulated, depending on the project.
02 Primary air & vapour control
A continuous membrane controlling air movement and vapour diffusion. Because it is installed in the factory, the critical air barrier is built under controlled conditions before the panel reaches site.
03 OSB sheathing
Structural sheathing that also creates the surface the air control layer is sealed to.
04 Double stud cavity & insulation
The main insulated cavity. PHI-certified 12″ and 16″ configurations, which with the service cavity give clear-field R-values from 38.5 to 61.1.
05 Weather-resistive rainscreen
Protects the wall from rain and wind while letting moisture dry toward the outside, so the insulation stays protected and the assembly can still breathe.
06 Universal strapping
A consistent fixing surface for cladding in any direction, without adding framing on site.
07 Preinstalled exterior cladding Optional
Fitted at the factory to roughly 80% coverage — ACM, fibre cement, composite or engineered wood.
01 Primary air & vapour control
An airtight, vapour-diffuse membrane installed in the factory, so the retrofit gains a continuous air barrier it never had.
02 OSB sheathing
Structural sheathing, and the surface the air control layer seals to.
03 Double wood stud cavity & insulation
Variable depths from 4″ to 16″, giving clear-field R-values from 12.2 to 57.3 over the existing wall.
04 Weather-resistive rainscreen
Airtight and vapour-diffuse, protecting the new insulation while letting the assembly dry outward.
05 Universal strapping
Supports cladding in any direction, so the existing building can take a new façade without extra site framing.
06 Preinstalled exterior cladding Optional
Fitted at the factory to roughly 80% coverage — ACM, fibre cement, composite or engineered wood.
01 Primary air & vapour control
An airtight, vapour-diffuse membrane, factory installed.
02 Fibreglass mat-faced gypsum sheathing
A non-combustible sheathing board, and the plane the air control layer is sealed to.
03 Steel stud cavity & insulation
3 5/8″ or 6″ steel studs with mineral wool or fibreglass — the framing that makes the assembly non-combustible.
04 Second gypsum sheathing layer Depth >4″
A second fibreglass mat-faced board, on panels deeper than 4″.
05 Weather-resistive rainscreen
Airtight and vapour-diffuse, managing bulk water at the face of the new assembly.
06 Cladding support & exterior insulation
0–6″ of fibreglass and mineral wool outboard of the studs, carried on a support system that also takes the cladding.
07 Factory-installed exterior cladding Optional
Roughly 80% coverage — ACM, fibre cement, composite or engineered wood.

ONE INTEGRATED PARTNER, END TO END
ONE INTEGRATED PARTNER, END TO END
Bring us in early and Quantum acts as your integrator across architecture, engineering, and infrastructure, coordinating the whole envelope so design intent survives construction. We take the hardest, riskiest parts off your critical path and own them.
Pre-design? Even better.
We collaborate from day one to shape assemblies, energy targets, and schedule, where we add the most value.
Already designed? We fit in.
We work with your drawings to panelize what you have and de-risk the envelope.

WORKFLOW & HAND-OFFS
Seven stages, one accountable partner, a clear, step-by-step path from design intent to verified performance.
1
Integrated Design
We join your team early to align on Owner's Project Requirements, energy and/or carbon targets, assembly selections, and schedule, a clear path from design intent to buildable panels.
2
BIM & Shop Drawings
Coordinated panel drawings with connection details, tolerances, and sequencing, synced with your structural engineer of record. Shop-ready documentation, not back-and-forth RFIs.
3
Fabrication
Panels are built in a controlled shop with documented QA at every stage. Each panel is inspected, tagged, and photographed before it ships, issues get caught inside, not on your site.
4
Delivery
Panels arrive in installation sequence with a detailed craning and staging plan. Just-in-time delivery keeps your site clear and your schedule tight, no stacking, no sorting, no waiting.
5
Install
Certified crews erect your weather-tight shell, days not weeks, weeks not months. One team owns the envelope from first lift to final seal, no coordination gaps, no rework.
6
Air-tightness testing
Available depending on scope: third-party air-tightness testing on our superstructure, with documented envelope performance at handover.
7
Monitoring (paid upgrade)
An optional paid upgrade: post-occupancy performance monitoring that can support grant applications. Package coming soon.

BUILT FOR THE FUNDED, LOW-CARBON MANDATE
BUILT FOR THE FUNDED, LOW-CARBON MANDATE
The challenges public & institutional developers face in a cold climate, and how a certified envelope answers each.
“We need net-zero, but affordability is a challenge.”
High-performance buildings can be built at comparable cost when the envelope leads, with lower utility & maintenance bills for the life of the asset.
“Delays and material sourcing make sustainability harder.”
Factory-built panels enclose the building in days, not months, fewer trades, less weather risk, locked-in procurement.
“We need to align with government targets & incentives.”
Built from certified Passive House panels that support CMHC MLI Select, proven, fundable, and audit-ready.

Scope
28 homes for an Indigenous community in Ontario, part of a 200+ home need.
Challenge
Urgent demand, incomplete site infrastructure, and a conventional schedule of 2+ years. The community could not wait.
Approach
Factory-built THX panels with high R-values, windows and cladding installed. Manufacturing ran concurrent with site prep.
Result
Delivered in about 9 months, years ahead of schedule, with a dramatic reduction in operating energy for residents.
Real homes, delivered to real people, faster. Proof that panelized construction scales, and that speed does not cost quality.
