BuildSkyn · Calgary, Alberta
The biggest surfaces in a building just sit there. We're building materials that put them to work: protecting the structure, sensing problems early and capturing energy.
A building-technology company working with Alberta builders and renovators.
What we do
Walls, roofs and floors are a building's largest surfaces, and its most exposed. BuildSkyn develops materials and systems that give those surfaces a job.
Help buildings stand up to water, weather and time, so they need fewer repairs and last longer.
Let buildings report on their own health, so owners hear about problems before they turn into damage.
Make every square metre earn its place, from capturing energy to lowering running costs and extending a building's life.
40%+

$2,500

Hidden
Many leaks start inside walls, roofs and floors, where no one can see them until the damage shows.

Products
Hidden leak detection built into the building. SkynSense watches the parts of a building you can't see and tells you when, and roughly where, water gets in.
We have more building surfaces in development. We'll share the details once our patents are filed, and we're open to partners who want to help shape them.

Our products are designed to fit into the steps crews already follow, without new specialties or long delays.
We test with real builders and renovators on real projects before anything goes to market.
Designed in Calgary for freeze-thaw cycles, chinooks and hail, the conditions Canadian buildings actually face.
