1 HIGH-RISE PROJECTS ARE ATTRACTIVE BUT RESULTS ARE DIFFICULT TO PREDICT Market studies are good but markets change quickly Some project variables are out of control Experience is not sufficient to garantee success

2 THE HIGH-RISE CONSTRUCTION METHODS DID NOT PROGRESS AS THE MARKET DID 20% of construction calendar is a provision for weather 80% of spaces do not progress every day 30% of costs generate ZERO added value

3 YOUR NEXT HIGH-RISE CONSTRUCTION SHOULD START WITH THE ROOF! The roof is installed early and shelters the building and the workers.

4 WHAT IS UPBRELLA? PROTECTION + ROOF LIFTING + ACCESS Upbrella delivers a turn-key construction system Accessible through certified licencees and experts Engineering + Equipments + Construction services

5 OPTIMIZED STRUCTURES AND SHELLS FOR BEST PERFORMANCE AND OVERALL COST Upbrella has no paradigm and develops project-oriented structures Engineering is often included in the proposal Upbrella delivers turn-key structure and shell, floor by floor! STRUCTURES CAN BE 60% LIGHTER

6 NO TOWER CRANE REQUIRED! REDUCE FOOTPRINT AND PUBLIC OCCUPANCY With Upbrella, there is less room required at ground level resulting with less public occupancy charges. Upbrella equiment is often cheaper than traditional ones. UP TO 50% SAVINGS ON PUBLIC OCCUPANCY COSTS

7 REDUCE TEMPORARY HEATING AND WASTE OF MATERIALS AT EVERY FLOORS Heating is reduced because the building is closed Eliminate temporary protection at every floor Keep moisture and cold out of the building right from the start UP TO 70% SAVINGS

8 REDUCE FINANCING COSTS LEVERAGE REVENUE FROM EARLY DELIVERIES PROJECT / 2 = ROI x 2 Vertical phases reduce cash down requirements Focus on cashing in as quickly as possible Use revenue to finance future phases

9 REDUCE PRE-CONSTRUCTION AND SALES COSTS AVOID PROJECT CANCELLATION Vertical phases reduce pre-sale requirements Start your project sooner and sell using the real space Who really wants to wait 2 years or maybe finally 3?

10 CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRIALIZED TOOLS + PROTECTION + JUST IN TIME (JIT) First spaces can be delivered after 4 months (tenant ready) Additional floors can be delivered every 10 days (complete shell) Project management is systematic, and simplified! UP TO 40% SAVINGS ON SHELL LABOR

11 ENVIRONMENT IS CONTROLLED PROBLEMS AND EXTRAS ARE ELIMINATED Work and inspections are easy due to better access (24/7) Moisture is kept outside, limiting future problems Talented workers are motivated and retained

12 HIGH-RISE WORK CONDITIONS IF WORKERS PERFORM = PROJECT PERFORMS Construction workers often retire before they want The industry would benefit from an increased average experience level Ergonomics is an obvious opportunity in construction

13 AVOID ACCIDENTS FALL PROTECTION IS A TOP PRIORITY Safety accidents are stopping job sites every day Safety and insurance are expensive (10% of total cost) Many traditional methods are being challenged by authorities

14 NEW FLOOR IS ASSEMBLED AT MEN S HEIGHT FOR SECURITY AND EFFICIENCY Upbrella composite structure design is light and quick to erect It is assembled at men s height to be lifted once complete Workers can focus on getting the job done

15 ADJUST TO MARKET CHANGE SLOW DOWN OR ACCELERATE WORK ANY TIME Vertical phases reduce cash down and pre-sale requirements Lower levels are ready to occupy even if the top levels wait Accelerate up to 3 work shifts if sales exceed expectations

16 Developers Reduce cash down requirement Reduce pre-sales Adjust to market change Control calendar Maximize value Responsible development New opportunities Differenciate your project! Builders Save 1 day/week without extra cost Simplify work in tight environment Reduce contingencies Eliminate accident Reduce costs Retain talent Motivate workers Improve quality AN AWARD WINNING INNOVATION THAT TAKES YOU TO THE NEXT LEVEL Most Innovative Product (2016) Innovation Excellence Award (2016) The Rubic : Best residential project (2016)
