Upbrella International is a company founded in 2009 that specializes in advanced sheltered construction technology for high-rise buildings. The team consists of engineers and an industrial designer with expertise in product development and construction management. Upbrella aims to redefine urban construction by addressing challenges in dense environments, focusing on sustainable growth and minimizing disruption during construction.

The company offers a patented sheltered construction system that allows high-rise projects to be completed without tower cranes. This system creates a protected environment for construction, enhancing worker safety and reducing budget overruns. It is adaptable for new constructions, adding storeys, facade renovations, and building deconstruction. Upbrella’s technology includes a protective roof, peripheral work platforms, and integrated materials-handling systems, all designed to improve safety and efficiency.

Upbrella serves the construction industry, particularly developers and contractors, and has partnered with Buttcon Limited to implement its technology in Ontario. The company has received several innovation awards, recognizing its contributions to transforming high-rise construction.
