“Driving sustainable system & construction materials”
A PAR·A·DIGM SHIFT IN BUILDING.
Injection-molded anchoring systems and EPS concrete forming that make concrete floors, walls, and roofs practical. Two issued U.S. patents — US 12,188,232 B2 & US 11,933,057 B2, inventor Alma Jessop. Designed on job sites over 30+ years, not in a lab.
Tesla didn’t build the roads — it built the future that rides on them.
CTBS didn’t reinvent concrete — we built the future that rides on it.

The problem
Concrete homes and buildings are better. No one has figured out how to build them cost-effectively.
We did — with our technology, using the contractor’s own subs and their existing forming equipment. No retraining, nothing new to learn. Just: here, use this.
HVAC
HVAC & Mechanical Compatibility
Most ICF floors are not compatible with standard HVAC & mechanical systems. Drop ceilings are required to cover ducting, or cast in place.
Shipping
Manufacturing & Shipping
The high cost of equipment, shipping & handling make ICF systems too expensive for the average homeowner.
Sound
Sound Transmission
Creating separations between units takes multiple materials & special hardware — very difficult to achieve high STC ratings.
Equipment
Specialty Equipment
Today’s ICF systems require special bracing equipment to be remotely efficient to assemble.
Labor
Niche Labor Market
Increasing labor costs and lack of a nationally trained labor force eliminate ICF systems as an option for most builders.
The industry’s own numbers agree: wages eat 25.5% of concrete contractors’ revenue and the forms are still “done by hand with little technological change”; developers’ purchases run 59.1% of revenue; the labor shortage is named in report after report. (IBISWorld 23811 & 23611C, 2023.)
The solution
Three products. One system.
Climate-Ties™
Injection-Molded Anchoring
Ties concrete FLOORS | WALLS | ROOFS into one structure — embedded by your local foundation contractor. Patented.
What conventional ICF takes: rented bracing, alignment scaffold, custom hardware — on every wall, every pour.
What CTBS takes: the contractor’s own forms and subs — the hardware rides inside. Fewer parts, fewer trades, no retraining.
SIMPLICITY — THE SKU MATH
What it takes to hold a conventional ICF wall straight
From ICF Builder Magazine’s 2026 ICF Industry Comparison Chart (bracing page): a conventional ICF pour ships its own alignment economy — strongbacks 8–24 ft, turnbuckles, footplates, scaffold brackets, planks, guardrails and pin connectors — delivered to every job in steel storage crates.

And that is after the block catalog itself: 90° and 45° corners, T-blocks, brickledges, taper tops, height adjusters, end caps, radius forms — a dozen specialty SKU families per brand before the first yard of concrete.
CTBS: the contractor’s own conventional forms, crews that already know them, hardware that rides inside the wall. No proprietary bracing catalog. No 2,600-pound crate. No retraining.

The science — not ours, the record’s
The physics is settled. We made it buildable.
None of the claims below are ours. They are the concrete industry’s published research, a federal report, and one of North America’s most influential building scientists — sourced and linked, so you don’t have to take our word for anything. The founder worked with this thermal-mass research in Phoenix during his Western Forms years; the system is built on it.
Gajda, Energy Use of Single-Family Houses with Various Exterior Walls (PCA CD026): 11 wall systems, 25 cities, DOE-2.1E modeling with everything but the walls held identical. Phoenix annual HVAC cost: flat-panel ICF $1,144 vs wood frame $1,339 vs code-baseline $1,693. Concrete lost only where left extremely under-insulated. Read the study →
HUD · FEDERAL · 2004
Smaller HVAC is documented, not marketing
HUD, HVAC Sizing Methodology for Insulated Concrete Homes (prepared by CTL — the same Gajda team): HVAC equipment “downsized by as much as 15 to 40%” vs identical wood-frame homes. A 58-home field study measured ≈44% less heating energy and ≈32% less cooling. Read the HUD report →
LSTIBUREK
The right assembly, per the leading authority

CODE PATH · ICC-ES
Code recognition is scoped, not hoped
ICC-ES mapped the evaluation path in 2023: an initial ESR covering the proprietary chairs, vertical ties and CFS attachment — roughly 6–8 months and $20–25K in fees (2023 quote), with the AC353 criteria and a comparable report (ESR-1815) already in hand.

THE MARKET · IBISWORLD
Fragmented, labor-starved, and already turning our way
$76.4B US concrete contracting across 82,693 firms — the largest holds a 1.0% share; nobody owns the channel we sell into. Wages eat 25.5% of contractor revenue and the forms are still “done by hand with little technological change” — that is the labor CTBS removes. Sustainable building materials is a $80.9B, growth-stage industry whose own definition includes insulated concrete forms — structural concrete is 32% of it and rising. And the majors are already buying system-built: Lennar’s panelized homes went up 4× faster than industry standard; PulteGroup bought its off-site builder outright.

Every cost figure here is yours, carried unchanged. The only variable re-modeled is the adoption curve — how fast a code-gated building system actually gets picked up.
Estimates only — nothing built at scale yet. The unit economics below are Alma Jessop’s own bottom-up build-ups. The three adoption scenarios are illustrative ranges to bracket what’s plausible — not guarantees.

The cost flip you caught: classic ICF stayed niche for 60 years because it was a premium product — it cost more than wood. If CTBS is cost-competitive-to-cheaper, it is not that product, so it adopts faster than ICF ever did. That’s built into the curves — but code, contractor habit, and supply chain still gate it, so faster is not instant.
Revenue by year — three honest scenarios

$197.6M lands: your ramp Year 6 · Cost-Advantaged Year 10 · Base Year 12 · Conservative Year 14.
What this actually says
The destination is intact. $197.6M is still there — it lands around Year 10–14, not Year 6. The correction is the clock, not the dream.
Year 5 is the number to quote: roughly $32M–$71M. For a building category that didn’t exist, that’s a home run.
Years 1–2 sit near zero (pilots, UL/ICC, channel). Normal — and admitting it reads as more credible.
Even the fast case is Year 10, because cheaper-and-better still has to clear code and habit.
What it’s worth on these numbers: on a real building-products multiple (~1.5–3×, not SaaS), the Base curve walks CTBS toward ~$150M–$400M+ enterprise value over years 6–9 — climbing, defensible, survives diligence. This is the 2026 updated scenario.
