The challenge

Conventional vs Polar Maxima

Conventional build

  • Many trades onsite
  • Thermal bridges · weak windows
  • Weather delays · 50/50 cost split

Polar Maxima

  • Factory-built system
  • Exo-wrap · R10–R17 glazing
  • 4 onsite steps · catalog models

Integrated by design

One building ecosystem

Exo-insulation

Continuous exterior wrap · finished panels

High-R glazing

R10–R17 targets · Arctic certified paths

Modular structure

Factory panels · pre-routed services

Self-sufficiency

Solar · storage · ventilation · water-ready

Assembly

4 steps onsite

Not dozens of trades — lift, wrap, glaze, connect.
