hup! building system - engineered before it reaches site

At the heart of hup! technology, patented hup! walls combine timber, steel and insulation into a single manufactured component.

Together, these elements form the hup! building system, bringing the work traditionally split across several separate trades into one advanced construction solution.

The better way to build a house extension in Telford

There are many reasons why hup! offers a better way to build a house extension. Forget lengthy build times, unnecessary mess and disruption, or costs becoming difficult to control.

With Formula One and the hup! system, these common frustrations are significantly reduced, giving you a faster, cleaner and more predictable way to extend your home.

Advanced performance with Ultrapanel technology

At the heart of the hup! system is Ultrapanel technology, which brings together precision-engineered steel and high-performance timber components to create a strong, highly insulated building structure. For homeowners in Telford, Shrewsbury and Walsall, it provides a modern alternative to more conventional extension construction.

The system can achieve U-values as low as 0.12–0.17, helping a hup! extension deliver thermal performance well beyond current Building Regulations. Combined with its flexible design capabilities, this allows Formula One to create comfortable, energy efficient living spaces that can be tailored around the style and layout of each home.

Super strong i-beam structure

hup! wall panels work together to create a highly robust structure, delivering 68% greater strength than a brick wall. 

As the panels quickly clip into place, they form a continuous i-beam framework that strengthens the entire extension.

Rapid connection details

Precision-engineered components and patented wall-to-roof connections help every part of the hup! system fit accurately together, reducing potential cold spots and supporting excellent thermal performance.

The innovative clip-fit system also allows a hup! extension to be assembled up to five times faster than traditional construction, shortening the build process without compromising on quality or performance.

Tried and tested by UK housebuilders in Shropshire

The Ultrapanel technology behind the hup! building system has been adopted by leading UK housebuilders for use in new home construction.

Building materials used in new homes are subject to approval by the NHBC, which provides insurance for new homes. The hup! technology has therefore undergone thorough assessment and accreditation by both the BBA and NHBC, providing further confidence in its performance and quality.

How does the hup! building system reduce delays?

hup! wall panels are manufactured off site under controlled factory conditions, so much of the work is finished before reaching the Telford property. That reduces the typical weather-related delays that push a traditional build over time and over budget.

Is the hup! system more sustainable than traditional brick?

Yes. Manufacturing hup! walls off site is 60% more carbon efficient than brick, produces zero waste in production and on site, and follows an ISO 14001 accredited process. It's a detail worth checking before comparing quotes elsewhere.

What certification is the hup! system pre-approved against?

hup! technology is pre-approved by leading Building Control inspectors and holds BBA approval, giving Telford homeowners a recognised standard to check the system against before committing to any project.
