Commercial lobby concept featuring a large LeafCore material wall

Agricultural by-product / Engineered composite / Australian made

01LeafCore / Commercial construction

SPECIFY THEQUESTIONS.TEST THE FIT.

Explore whether a Queensland-grown composite panel could meet the performance, durability and project requirements that commercial construction demands.

LEAFCORE

For architects, specifiers, builders and project teams: LeafCore is an early material pathway. This MVP asks which technical, compliance and procurement requirements must be investigated before it could be considered for a commercial project.

Open-plan commercial office fit-out concept featuring LeafCore wall panels and built-in joinery
Application conceptQueensland / Australia
01 / ValidatePerformance requirements

Define the fire, moisture, acoustic, structural and durability questions relevant to the intended application.

02 / InvestigateCompliance pathway

Map the standards, certification evidence and documentation a specification decision would require.

03 / EvaluateProject feasibility

Compare application, installation, supply and lifecycle requirements before proposing a project fit.

The pathway

REQUIREMENTS.EVIDENCE. FIT.

Start with the use case, identify the evidence threshold, then test whether LeafCore has a credible development pathway toward it.
