XFrame doubles revenue with 118% jump, opens Canada office
What's the deal? Adelaide-based XFrame grew revenue 118% in the 2026 financial year, landing second on BDODealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom →'s Fast Movers list of South Australia's fastest-growing small and medium companies. The company makes a modular wall system used by office and retail clients for interior walls, change rooms, and more.
What's the endgame? Founded in 2019 by managing director Carsten Dethlefsen and chief technology officer Ged Finch, XFrame sells a system built from plantation pine designed for disassembly and reuse. The aim, Dethlefsen said, is "to reduce construction waste to landfill."
Why now? XFrame only started properly advertising last year. It is now "sought out by a lot of the big corporates that have internal fitout projects, but also have carbon budgets that they need to report against," Dethlefsen said.
The frames are milled from construction-grade plywood, yielding almost 2m² of wall frame per sheet. Dethlefsen describes the business as a tech platform first: "We're delivering a building solution, but it's a tech platform that's doing the heavy lifting."
Who's buying? UniqloDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom → uses XFrame in-store, and the company is working with the New Zealand government on a parliamentary building project using reconfigurable wall frames.
Where next? XFrame recently opened a Canadian office with a team employed directly to service that market, and is seeing early opportunities in the US. It is also exploring selling directly to retail buyers.
The signal: Australia's commercial-fitout market is putting circularity and embodied carbon higher on the agenda — the Green Building Council of Australia launched Green Star Fitouts in March 2026, and fitouts account for roughly 32% of commercial office lifecycle emissions. As corporates face mounting carbon-reporting pressure, demand for reusable interiors is set to grow; XFrame's Canadian move tests whether that demand travels beyond Australia.
