Why CABN Is Changing the Way We Build (and Why It’s Better for You)

As interest in sustainable, high-performance housing has grown, so have we.

Since day one, CABN has been driven by a mission to transform housing—making it more resilient, more efficient, and more aligned with the world we live in. But as we’ve grown, listened to our clients, and partnered on larger projects, we’ve come to a clear realization: the future of building isn’t about doing everything. It’s about doing what we do best—and doing it better than anyone else.

That’s why CABN is shifting our model to focus entirely on delivering CABN Core Technology™: our climate-resilient, net-zero-ready building envelope. It’s the core of every CABN—integrating advanced materials, precision design, and energy performance that sets the stage for anything you want to build next.

Why the Change?

We’ve updated our process to scale responsibly, improve quality, and serve more people more efficiently. These changes reflect everything we’ve learned since launch:

  • How to deliver faster without compromising on quality

  • How to meet rising demand across different markets and geographies

  • And how to empower clients to build with greater control, flexibility, and local alignment

By narrowing our focus to what we do best—fabricating and delivering the CABN envelope—we’re giving you the foundation to do more: choose your own builder, manage your interior finishes, and still receive the high-performance structure we’re known for.

What Does This Mean for You?

Instead of delivering fully built homes with every fixture and finish selected by us, CABN now delivers the complete building envelope: structural panels, high-performance windows and doors, weatherproofing, and precision-cut materials ready for assembly. You and your builder take it from there—with our support.

You’ll work locally to finish your home or building—whether that’s with one of our trained CABN builders or your own trusted contractor. This model offers major benefits:

  • Lower costs through reduced shipping and local labor

  • Easier permitting and approvals with regionally licensed trades

  • Greater flexibility to choose materials and designs that fit your lifestyle

  • More sustainability through local sourcing and reduced emissions

And while you may be taking on more of the fit-out, you’re not doing it alone. We provide support to your builder, offer guidance on sustainable product choices, and connect you with vetted suppliers from our trusted network when possible.

What If You’re a Legacy Customer?

First—thank you. If you’ve already signed a contract with CABN under our earlier process, your model and terms are still honoured. We’re continuing to support existing clients with their original designs and specifications wherever possible. And if you’re a returning customer interested in starting a new project, we’d love to talk about the updated offerings and how they can work for you.

A More Sustainable Future—Together

This change isn’t just about improving our process. It’s about putting the power in your hands—literally. By building a CABN envelope and finishing it with your own local builder, you create something uniquely yours, while lowering your carbon footprint and supporting your community.

It’s a new way of building, born from the same commitment to sustainability and performance that’s defined us from the start.

CABN Core Technology™ is more than a product—it’s a platform for better living.
