Executive Summary

Climate Tech Building Systems™ (CTBS) is a South Jordan, Utah-based Injection Molded Plastics (IMP) and Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF) hardware company. CTBS does not manufacture concrete walls — it manufactures the proprietary plastic hardware components that are installed INSIDE concrete forming systems, transforming a standard concrete pour into a high-performance, lumber-free structural assembly. Think of CTBS as the Simpson Strong-Tie of the concrete world: the hardware that makes the system work.

Founded by Alma Jessop — a Parade of Homes Award-winning General Contractor with 30+ years in specialty construction — CTBS holds two granted U.S. patents (US 11,933,057 B2, issued March 19, 2024; US 12,188,232 B2, issued January 7, 2025) and has invested over $945,000 in intellectual property, product design (10,000+ hours), prototype R&D, and marketing to reach its current stage.

Investment Opportunity at a Glance

Company Overview

Mission

To deliver the missing hardware pieces of the concrete building puzzle — enabling concrete contractors to build complete structures above grade using equipment they already own, at lower cost and higher performance than any wood-frame system on the market.

Vision

To become the global standard for concrete building hardware systems, opening new market segments for ICF construction that no competitor currently serves: concrete roofs for tilt-up buildings, panelized concrete walls for multi-family and commercial projects, ICF conversion systems for foundation forms, and rapid-deployment disaster-rebuild housing.

Company Details

Founder: Alma Jessop

Alma Jessop is a Parade of Homes Award-winning General Contractor, speaker, and visionary inventor with 30+ years in specialty construction services. His background spans carpentry, concrete forming, tilt-up construction, post-tension systems, thermal-mass design, and advanced estimating software (collaborated with Jay Christofferson, creator of Estimator Pro Software, at International Builders Shows).

As co-founder of Concrete Form Services, Inc. and co-inventor of the EZ Footings Form System (www.ezfootings.com) — a reusable aluminum forming system that reduces labor 40–50% and eliminates lumber costs — Alma has already proven his ability to bring disruptive forming hardware to market. CTBS is the full-structure evolution of that work: above-grade, multi-story, complete-building hardware for the concrete industry.

His role as Regional Sales Manager at Western Forms gave him deep expertise in sandwich panel walls, thermal mass, and concrete forming systems at scale. That foundation, combined with field experience in post-tension and tilt-up construction, produced the specific insights that make the Climate-Ties™ and Climate-Deck™ systems uniquely viable.

Product & Technology

What Problems Does CTBS Solve?

• •HVAC & Mechanical Compatibility — most ICF floor systems are not compatible with standard HVAC systems and require drop ceilings. Climate-Deck™ is the ONLY system on the market meeting all 4 HVAC compatibility standards. 

• •Manufacturing & Shipping Cost — high equipment and shipping costs make competing ICF systems too expensive for average builders. CTBS EPS forms are wire-cut locally from EPS foam blocks at existing facilities, eliminating ~90% of shipping costs; the hardware is injection molded. 

• •Niche Labor Market — other ICF systems require specially trained labor. CTBS uses concrete contractors’ existing workforce and equipment. 

• •Specialty Equipment — competing systems require special bracing equipment. CTBS uses the contractor’s existing forms as the delivery mechanism. 

• •Sound Transmission — CTBS concrete assemblies deliver high STC (Sound Transmission Class) ratings that wood-frame cannot match. 

System 1: Climate-Wall™ Hardware

U.S. Patent 11,933,057 B2 — GRANTED March 19, 2024  |  Hardware Material: Molded Polycarbonate 6487 Black w/FR & UV (Mholland Silicone Plastics)

The Climate-Wall™ system uses metal form ties — which concrete contractors already own — as a rail system to load proprietary plastic hardware into the core of a concrete wall during the pour. Key hardware components:

The tie system functions as a reusable rail: composite anchors are loaded during forming, concrete is poured, forms and ties are pulled and reused. The result is a clean concrete wall with a factory-precise embedded anchoring matrix — ready for any facade — achieved without any additional labor beyond the standard forming process.

System 2: Climate-Deck™ Hardware

U.S. Patent 12,188,232 B2 — GRANTED January 7, 2025  |  Hardware Material: Molded Polycarbonate 6487 Black w/FR & UV (Mholland Silicone Plastics)

Climate-Deck™ is a hardware system for concrete floor and roof construction. It was designed for conventional rebar reinforcement — the most widely available and contractor-accessible reinforcement method — and is also compatible with post-tension applications where structural engineers specify PT. Three form profiles address the full range of residential and commercial applications:

HVAC Integration — Climate-Deck™ is the Only System Meeting All 4 Standards

Cost Comparison: Climate-Deck™ 18 vs. Wood Frame Truss

EPS Manufacturing: Local, Low-Cost, 90% Shipping Savings

Climate-Deck™ EPS forms will be manufactured by wire-cutting profiles from blocks of EPS foam at existing EPS foam cutting facilities across the United States and globally. This model delivers near-zero shipping costs for most regions with established EPS cutting facilities — estimated 90% reduction in shipping vs. competing systems. Where EPS is not available, aluminum precast forms are being developed by Western Forms as an alternative.

Digital Integration: Revit BIM Library

CTBS is building a complete Revit BIM family library for all products. The BIM library will be hosted on www.climatebuilt.com and distributed through the A&E community. Products included:

• •CLIMATE-DECK™ (CD_18, CD_24, CD_24CF) 

• •CLIMATE-TIES™ (Aluminum Form – AF, Steel Form – SF) 

• •CLIMATE-WALL™ 

• •ROLL BUCKS 

• •U-STUCCO FORM 

• •SolidWorks 3D part models, shop drawings, cross sections, and structural spec sheets 

Market Opportunity

Markets Served

CTBS is uniquely positioned to capture a large share of the rapidly growing energy-efficient and sustainable building industry. The company opens new market segments not currently served by any ICF competitor:

• •Concrete roofs for tilt-up buildings (Climate-Deck™ 24CF) 

• •Panelized concrete walls for multi-family and commercial projects 

• •ICF conversion systems for foundation forms (foundation-to-above-grade transition) 

• •ICF floors for residential, multi-family, and commercial 

• •Rapid-deployment disaster rebuild housing (fire and flood zones) 

Industry Data — IBISWorld

Independent industry research (IBISWorld reports; copies in the CTBS data room) frames the direct customer base and the growth segment CTBS serves:

• •U.S. concrete contracting: $76.4B industry, 82,693 firms. The largest firm holds just 1.0% market share — a deeply fragmented industry with no gatekeeper, ideal for hardware-component distribution. 

• •Wages are 25.5% of industry revenue. Labor is concrete contracting’s largest controllable cost — CTBS hardware attacks that cost line directly by using crews and equipment contractors already have. 

• •Sustainable building materials: $80.9B growth industry, with insulated concrete forms (ICFs) included in the industry definition — CTBS sits inside a recognized, measured growth category.

International Interest

WOC and IBS 2023 generated global interest from builders and developers, including from earthquake-prone regions where concrete construction is the standard. International attendees are actively waiting for completed system specs and finished products. In addition to its two granted U.S. patents, CTBS has international patent applications filed for Climate-Deck™ and Climate-Ties™.

Competitive Analysis

ICF Floor / Deck System Competitors

Wall System vs. Lumber and ICF

Concrete Innovation Ecosystem — Future Integration Opportunities

CTBS is not currently partnered with any concrete technology company. The following section identifies companies whose technologies represent natural future integration opportunities with CTBS hardware systems. As the concrete building industry matures, CTBS is well-positioned to be specified alongside low-carbon concrete technologies — creating a carbon-conscious building platform for ESG-focused developers and government programs.

Revenue Model

Revenue Streams — Seven Lines of Business

CTBS operates seven distinct revenue streams. Three of these — CTBS hardware, EZ aluminum forming equipment, and partner aluminum form sales — are all driven by the same sales motion: a contractor opens a Revit model, gets an instant equipment and hardware estimate, and places an order. One tool sells three product lines simultaneously.

Stream 1: CTBS Hardware Component Sales

• •Climate-Ties™ (Aluminum Form & Steel Form variants), Rebar Trees, Rebar Chairs, Locking Pin Wedges, Vertical Ties, Roll Bucks 

• •Sold direct, through wholesale distributors, and through independent reps (11% commission on distributor sales) 

• •This is the core CTBS patented product line — the primary revenue engine of the 72-month proforma 

Stream 2: Aluminum Form Sales — Western Forms & Partner Distribution

CTBS is positioned to become a distribution and sales channel for aluminum forming equipment manufactured by Western Forms and other forming equipment partners. Alma Jessop’s relationship with Western Forms (as former Regional Sales Manager) and deep knowledge of their product line creates a natural partnership: CTBS hardware requires concrete contractor forming equipment, and Western Forms needs sales channels that reach above-grade concrete contractors — a market CTBS is directly unlocking.

• •EZ-Footings™ Aluminum Footing Forms — reusable forms eliminating lumber from footings; 40–50% labor reduction; no monthly wood/nail costs 

• •EZ-Flatwork™ Aluminum Flatwork Forms — reusable aluminum forms for slabs, flatwork, and horizontal concrete applications 

• •EZ-Curb & Gutter™ Aluminum Forms — reusable aluminum curb and gutter forming systems for site work and civil contractors 

• •Western Forms above-grade aluminum forming systems — the same equipment CTBS hardware is designed to work with 

Stream 3: Revit BIM as Equipment Estimating Tool — The Sales Engine

This is the mechanism that ties all hardware and equipment sales together. When an architect, engineer, or contractor opens a CTBS Revit family, the model contains fully embedded quantity and cost data for every component in the system:

• •CTBS hardware quantities auto-calculate by floor plan area, span, and wall height 

• •Western Forms / EZ aluminum form quantities auto-calculate by perimeter, height, and forming configuration 

• •EZ-Footings, EZ-Flatwork, and EZ-Curb & Gutter equipment lists generate automatically from site plan geometry 

• •The model outputs a complete equipment and hardware estimate — with pricing — in minutes 

• •The contractor clicks “Order” and the Revit estimate becomes a purchase order directly to CTBS and its partners 

This makes Revit not just a design tool but the company’s primary sales funnel. Every A&E firm that specifies CTBS Revit families on a project automatically generates a hardware and equipment order. The BIM library, once adopted, becomes a self-operating sales machine that requires no additional sales labor to maintain.

Streams 4–7: Additional Revenue Lines

• •Stream 4: EPS Form Sales — Wire-cut EPS profiles (CD_18, CD_24, CD_24CF) supplied through regional EPS manufacturing partnerships; 90% shipping cost reduction vs. competitors 

• •Stream 5: System Licensing — Per-project documentation, engineering specs, and system use license for large builders and developers 

• •Stream 6: Revit BIM Subscriptions — Annual subscription for full BIM library; entry at $79/license via Gumroad scaling to A&E enterprise contracts 

• •Stream 7: Contractor Certification Program — Online training via Kajabi/Buildwitt; certification generates revenue and expands installer network 

Distribution Channels

• •Wholesale Distributors — industry-standard commission structure; attractive margins to drive aggressive distributor sales 

• •Independent Sales Reps — 11% commission on distributor sales; local and national networks 

• •In-House Sales Force — direct sales to large builders, developers, and government programs 

• •Revit BIM Platform — primary digital sales channel; Revit model → auto-estimate → direct order 

• •Western Forms Referral Network — 7% referral commission on forming equipment sales driven by CTBS Revit specs 

• •EZ Product Brand Channel — direct sales and distributor network for EZ-Footings, EZ-Flatwork, EZ-Curb & Gutter 

Financial Projections — Company Proforma + Expanded Revenue Streams

The base financial data is sourced directly from the CTBS 72-month proforma. The expanded revenue streams (aluminum form sales, EZ product lines, and Revit-driven equipment orders) are modeled separately below and added to the base proforma to show total company revenue potential. All projections use conservative assumptions and grow proportionally with the base contractor network.

Stream 1: Base CTBS Hardware — Company 72-Month Proforma (Unit-Economics Reference)

Under the updated 2026 adoption scenario, the Year-1-through-Year-5 penetration steps above stretch across a 9–10 year clock; 100% penetration (~$200M) is a Year-9/10 outcome, with the Year-9 range at $118.6M / $154.1M / $181.8M (low / mid / high).

Stream 2: EZ Product Lines — Aluminum Form Equipment Sales

Revenue projections for EZ-Footings™, EZ-Flatwork™, and EZ-Curb & Gutter™ aluminum forming equipment, sold direct and through the CTBS contractor network. Average form set per contractor: $8,000–$15,000. Gross margin: 35–45% (aluminum equipment is premium-priced with strong margins). These projections reflect the CTBS contractor base driving equipment demand — every CTBS-certified concrete contractor is a natural EZ equipment buyer. Model years follow the same updated adoption clock as Stream 1.

Stream 2b: Western Forms / Partner Aluminum Form Referral Revenue

For above-grade forming equipment sold through Western Forms and other forming partners (beyond EZ product lines), CTBS earns a 7% referral commission on all equipment sales driven through CTBS Revit specs and contractor certifications. Average contractor equipment investment: $25,000–$75,000 for a full above-grade forming kit.

Stream 3: Revit BIM Subscriptions — Equipment Estimating Platform

The Revit BIM library is both a product (annual subscription) and a sales engine (auto-generates hardware and equipment orders). Subscription tiers are designed to capture the full A&E-to-contractor chain: individual contractors, engineering firms, and enterprise homebuilder/developer accounts.

Combined Revenue: All Streams

The table below consolidates all seven revenue streams into a total company revenue picture. This represents the full earning potential of the CTBS platform when all product lines are active. Model years follow the updated 9–10 year adoption clock.

Capital Required & Capital Plan (Budget Years 2026–2031)

The raise is $10,000,000. The company capital plan deploys $9,905,000 across five lines over budget years 2026–2031:

Manufacturing Partner Target: Tesla

Why Tesla Fits the Target Profile

Tesla’s manufacturing capabilities map directly onto CTBS’s production requirements:

• •Tesla operates world-class injection molding and precision plastics manufacturing across multiple Gigafactories 

• •Tesla’s Giga Press and precision casting technology is directly analogous to the high-volume plastic component production CTBS requires 

• •Tesla has an existing relationship with polycarbonate and composite materials — the same material class as CTBS’s Molded Polycarbonate 6487 components 

• •A manufacturing partner with Tesla-class supply chain, quality control, and automation could compress CTBS’s tooling and production timeline from 12–18 months to 3–6 months 

• •Tesla’s Gigafactories are themselves among the largest tilt-up and concrete-intensive construction projects in the world — Tesla has direct, firsthand understanding of the construction pain points CTBS solves 

Product Integration Opportunities (Illustrative)

If a partnership were ever secured, CTBS hardware is naturally complementary to the Tesla ecosystem:

• •Tesla Solar Roof — Climate-Wall™ anchor hardware provides factory-precise, engineer-approved mounting points for solar panels without roof penetrations 

• •Tesla Powerwall / Megapack — Climate-Deck™ thermal mass pairs with battery storage for peak-shifting; the building itself becomes a thermal battery 

• •Tesla HVAC — Climate-Deck™’s 23"x11" and 10"x10" HVAC channel geometry can be pre-specified for advanced thermal management hardware 

• •Starlink — Climate-Wall™ Rebar Tree anchoring provides structurally engineered dish mounting on any CTBS wall or roof 

• •EV Garage — CTBS concrete garages with EV charging conduit cast into the Climate-Deck™ floor slab 

Any partner-accelerated financial scenario would be modeled only if and when a partnership is actually in discussion. This plan makes no revenue, valuation, or equity claims contingent on Tesla.
