Pizza Hut Restaurant

Nexii delivers sustainable new restaurant

As part of its continued growth, Esposito Group partnered with Nexii to construct a new restaurant in Abbotsford, British Columbia. This is the fourth Nexii project constructed by the Esposito Group. Pizza Hut Canada is one of Canada's largest pizza restaurant chains with over 500 locations, and this restaurant location used building materials and technologies that are significantly more sustainable than those used in traditional construction.

This unique 2,800 sq. ft. commercial retail unit resides in the same complex as the Starbucks, Popeyes and Scotiabank buildings and contains approximately 7,000 sq. ft. of Nexii structural wall and roof panels.

Nexii’s high-performance green building products are precision manufactured in-plant to project specifications using 3D software. This process means that our panels are able to fit together like jigsaw pieces onsite, accelerating standard build times up to 75% over standard construction times¹. This process – where Nexii panels are manufactured offsite and assembled onsite – enables us to eliminate almost all onsite construction waste. Nexii's technology results in a 15% decrease in the building’s carbon emissions, and a 38% reduction in energy use². Our proprietary material Nexiite, used within Nexii panels, has up to 36% lower carbon emissions during production than Portland cement concrete³. When assembled, our panels create an airtight building envelope, markedly improving energy efficiency and, in turn, significantly lowering greenhouse gas emissions from ongoing building operations.¹ Compared to the historical time required to build a stand-alone restaurant of similar size in Canada.² Carbon savings averaged between operational and embodied; energy savings include process loads.
