LIVIO SMART SHELL

The Smart Shell.

A flat-packed building envelope. Composite panels ship flat and bolt together on site, like a kit of parts. Not a volumetric module.

02

Fast

Pre-assembled, multi-trade panels.

03

Sensor mesh + digital twin (LANS).

04

Secure

Graded ballistic-rated envelope.

01/How it works

Flat-packed. Not a volumetric box.

The Smart Shell ships as flat panels and bolts together on site, like a kit of parts. You get the speed of prefab without the freight penalty and layout limits of volumetric modules.

Roof panel set by crane. Real assembly, not a render.
Delivered flat, lifted in
01

Delivered flat, lifted in

Each 5 m × 2 m panel ships flat and is craned straight onto the foundation, every trade already integrated.

Stood up and braced
02

Stood up and braced

Panels seat on the anchor bolts and brace with steel shoring, aligned to ±1/8".

Capped and closed
03

Capped and closed

Roof panels drop on and the bay closes. A weathertight shell in days, not months.

02/Fast

Every trade, pre-assembled into one repeatable panel.

Standard panels are 5 m × 2 m, with 7 m × 2 m and 8 m × 2 m available. Each carries structure, insulation, fire-rated sheathing, services, and cladding. Closed-wall and finish-ready, straight off the truck.

Smart Shell panel wall-section cutaway, outer to inner: ACP cladding, drain wrap, R5/inch rigid insulation, MGO board, 20G steel sheathing, MGO board, 12 inch O.C. 14G studs with R4/inch Rockwool insulation, and factory-installed electrical conduit, switch, and outlet.
