IBS SPECIAL EDITION | BUILT AMERICA MAGAZINE

Each block is produced on a fixed cycle—approximately one unit every 42 seconds— allowing OSBLOCK to scale production efficiently while maintaining uniformity across output. Finished blocks are delivered to job sites dry, protected, and ready for installation. “It comes straight from the factory, well-wrapped and dry, and goes directly to the job site,” Levesque explains. For builders and developers, this manufacturing model translates into predictable performance, reduced on-site waste, improved scheduling reliability, and fewer weather-related delays. Sustainability Through Material Strategy and Energy Performance Sustainability is embedded into OSBLOCK ’s strategy on two levels: operational energy performance and material innovation. From an energy standpoint, the system’s high effective R-value significantly reduces heating and cooling demands, an increasingly critical factor as energy costs rise and building codes evolve. “If you tell people they can cut their energy bill in half with a better insulated house,” Levesque says, “it’s a no-brainer.” From a materials perspective, OSBLOCK sources its components within North America, reducing transportation impacts and supporting regional supply chains. 90 2026 INTERNATIONAL BUILDERS SHOW EDITION
