Formance manufactures structural insulated panels in Christchurch for walls, roofs and floors, using oriented-strand-board facings around an expanded-polystyrene core. The company supports architects and builders with design guides, detailing, shop drawings and panel preparation, and its system carries New Zealand CodeMark certification.

It supplies an envelope system rather than a finished house. Buyers outside New Zealand should confirm local engineering acceptance, freight, installer training, product warranty and the scope of regional representation.
