The order consists of a turn-key solution for twenty-six modular apartments, each measuring 100 square meters, in a single apartment block in Tirana. The value of this project to Eco Buildings is estimated to be €3m, this is expected to be received in 2025. This highlights the strong value proposition of Eco's high-quality, cost-efficient modular solutions. Under the terms of the contract, as outlined in the admission document, Eco Buildings will participate in the project's profit margins alongside the developer, Egeu Stone which enhances Eco's own profitability. The project will commence with the wall installation scheduled for the first week of November.

In addition, Egeu Stone has confirmed a second order for a 400 square metre showhouse, to be assembled at Olive Park Residences, a prestigious development adjacent to Rolling Hills-Tirana's most exclusive residential area. This marks the first step in providing Eco's innovative modular homes within the Olive Park complex, further validating the company's growth prospects in premium markets.   Olive Park Residences Housing Complex

Notes

The Company has acquired proven and innovative prefabricated technology which has been in development and commercial use since 2006. Eco Buildings' range of prefabricated, green housing products based on glass fibre reinforced gypsum panels ("GFRG") provides a construction solution for both affordable and high-end housing.

Eco Buildings has already secured two sales contracts with major construction companies, one in Albania, the other in Kosovo, which are expected to generate gross sales revenue of approximately up to €38 million in total per annum over the first three years (approximately €114 million in total) following Admission.

The market share for factory-based building technology is expected to grow significantly over the coming years as private developers and the public sector seek to address the substantial and growing deficit in housing stock and issues of construction cost, speed and quality and housing affordability.
