2 Light Gauge Steel System Attributes: Speed of construction LGS Overview Predictable build time Non-weather dependent Flexibility Low waste 2

over half a million m 2 of residential units in the Middle East.

3 ORCA HISTORY IN BRIEF ORCA s team have 20 years of industry leading knowledge and experience in mobile and off site manufacturing and construction The team have built over half a million m 2 of residential units in the Middle East. ORCA, recently launched in UK, has utilised this experience to construct over 50,000m 2. ORCA History in Brief 3

5 ORCA Approach 1. Design led systems 2. Full integration of fabrication software with Revit Autodesk BIM compliant 3. Improved workflow between consultants ORCA Approach 4. Mobile manufacturing 5

6 ORCA Approach - Differentiating the product Using a simple approach, ORCA, Highly engineered steelwork design minimises the amount of steel, therefore; Reduces material cost Smaller, lighter machines Low fixed overheads as machines and premises reduce space requirement Also allows machines to be moved mobile manufacturing ORCA only manufacture the frames no insulation, no windows fitted, therefore easier to transport to site, need less plant/cranes in factory on site As insulation is fitted post-erection, ORCA are not affected by wind As the insulation is rigid, closed cell, unaffected by rain during construction. ORCA Approach differentiating the product 6

LIFESPAN AND WARRANTIES Report carried out by the Steel Construction Institute (SCI) in March 2013 highlighted the predicted lifespan of light gauge steel structural elements.

23 LIFESPAN AND WARRANTIES Report carried out by the Steel Construction Institute (SCI) in March 2013 highlighted the predicted lifespan of light gauge steel structural elements. The figures within the table relate to the galvanised coating of the material only, therefore the figures can be seen as minimum lifespan. Lifetime and Warranties In comparison, timber frame is expected to last 60 years due to the natural degradation of the material and likelihood of insect infestation. NHBC, LABC, BLG and Premier all offer warranties as detailed in their structural information packages, with a minimum of 10 years structural guarantee. 23
