Compliant panel composites for net-zero housing delivery.

Specifications + compliance

Promod's standing R&D function develops sustainable building-material specifications, fire- and thermal-performance pathways, and intellectual property suitable for prefabricated and standardised housing delivery.

Specifications are validated through accredited third-party testing (CSIRO Infrastructure Technologies, Warringtonfire Australia) and academic collaboration, producing a translation pathway from material science to compliant construction product.

Key activities

  • Sustainable building-material specification development.
  • Fire- and thermal-performance pathway validation.
  • Accredited third-party testing (CSIRO, Warringtonfire).
  • Academic collaboration across four Australian universities.

Outcomes & targets

  • Compliant panel-composite specifications for net-zero housing.
  • Validated, certifiable IP suitable for prefabrication.
  • A repeatable lab-to-site translation pathway.

Industry context

Closing Australia's housing supply gap depends on materials that are both deployable at scale and compliant. The programme turns material innovation into specifications builders can adopt with confidence.
