We’re on a Mission

OPAL Build is the result of an architecture firm’s realization that good design isn’t enough. Even though we at OPAL Architecture were designing super-energy-efficient Passive House-level buildings, we came to see that the materials we were specifying were not always sustainable, in many cases at odds with our goal of embodied carbon reduction. To address these issues, we co-founded two companies: GO Lab, to manufacture the most environmentally friendly wood fiber insulation in the world - TimberHP; and OPAL Build, to use that insulation and other high performance forest products in delivering streamlined, single-source, prefabricated building shell solutions with the goal of reducing labor and schedule 50%.

Our mission is to provide construction solutions that meet the highest standards of design, construction efficiency, and sustainability, using materials that are healthy for people and healthy for the planet.
