One system covers walls, columns, beams, slabs, and partitions, including L-, T-, and U-shaped corners, below-grade walls, and foundations, so a single method can carry an entire reinforced-concrete building.
A decade of development and delivery in the system's market of origin: 1,000,000+ m² of GFA delivered, 70+ patents and applications, co-authorship of an industry technical standard (2018), and industry first-prize recognition. US and Australian evaluations with ICC-ES are underway; the European ETA route is in progress; components for the first international pilot have shipped to Europe.
ShellForm supplies the product system: ShellForm™ assemblies, proprietary materials and connectors, assembly fixtures and production-line equipment, and licensed production at qualified plants. At market entry, assemblies ship directly from the established production base; at scale, qualified partner factories produce in-market as listed locations. Partner capital builds market capacity; ShellForm capital builds the system. Ordinary concrete, reinforcement, and commodity materials stay local by design.
Projects span hospitality and luxury residential in Shanghai, high-rise housing to 27 floors in a 0.30g seismic zone, affordable housing, a university faculty-housing supply completed in 2026, and the first European pilot, shipped roughly 16,000 km by container. Transport distances on delivered projects have ranged from under 10 km to about 1,300 km by road.
