Our System

A fully designed and engineered construction solution

Overview

The Etopia Custom system delivers fully designed and engineered, cost effective construction.

We can produce for large or small panels to suit all builds. It is airtight, waterproof and features minimal thermal bridging – with high core strength and low U-values.
But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and praising pain was born and I will give you a complete.

Design, manufacture, delivery and on-site installation

“Clean Sheet” product design is rare at best – but this is exactly how the 4Wall structural panelling system was born.

In the early part of the last decade, the Dubai based Istidama Group drew up their “wish list” for a new global building system which could be built anywhere in the world by embracing sustainable performance and durable technologies. Tribus have worked in the offsite high performance timber frame industry for over 30 years – so you may wonder exactly why timber is now taking a back seat. Lee McArdle (Managing Director) was asked this question.
‘Quite simply once we became involved with the 4Wall project and reviewed the large amount of tested credentials, the decision to change was thought provoking but decisive. We’ve invested our future in the 4wall system and have no hesitation in urging you to do the same.’So we are proud to introduce you to 4Wall Global Build Fabrik which utilises Istidama’s patented ‘Dynamic Fusion Technology ‘ to manufacture high performance buildings that simply deliver on every front. You can see elsewhere on the website just some of the inbuilt design criteria that the system was designed to address, but for a comprehensive overview come and see us at our Devon manufacturing facility or design office near Bath and we will be delighted to demonstrate some of its many inbuilt strengths that just cannot be appreciated without a ‘hands on’ review. Whether you are just embarking on the dream of building your own home, or are a long way down the path to making your final decision. Nothing is lost by visiting our showroom and comparing 4wall to what you are considering, after all, it’s the decision of a lifetime!

Future generations will benefit from our high quality environmentally friendly build systems. Making their homes not only beautiful but also more sustainable and economic to run.
