Cyril PETIT, CEO and founder of CPHBA LLC

Cyril is a versatile engineer who worked in different industries like railroad, aeronautics, aerospace, automotive and the building construction one. He has always been passionate about the technologies of the future, no matter what industry he worked for.

Before starting CPHBA, he developed 3 patents while working in Research and Development for the Millet Group, already creating smart and efficient new lines of products fighting discomfort problems and energy overconsumption.

Now, he became an award-winning expert in smart shading solutions, by finding the perfect solutions when working on complex projects including sophisticated automation systems. In 2018, the first Passive House built in Los Angeles, CA named PHLA+ has become a “benchmark” for demonstrating how to obtain savings by drastically reducing and controlling the solar heat gains and, at the same time, how to create very comfortable areas inside the house.

TESTIMONIALS

Greg H. (Santa Monica): Cassette Awning K70

I sent an email to contact them. A few hours later I was called to check my needs and they scheduled a visit two days later. There are plenty of choices and options, so they showed me a selection of cassette awnings that fit my balcony. I decided to choose the K70. I’m very happy now, the design is gorgeous and the installation is perfect… Now I recommend them for their professionalism and advice.

Cassette Awning K70

John & Diane - Pacific Palisades (CA)

John: First, I was surprised by the possibilities of this product. Can we trust that it works outside? The answer is YES, no doubt, the quality is amazing and it’s well assembled.

Diane: I wanted something to keep the sun outside without losing the interior space. Now, I’m comfortable to live in my house, it is cooler and I can stay near the windows.

External Venetian Blinds - E 80 - Motorized

Mike - Culver City (CA)

When I called, I explained that I needed to bring more natural light into my living room, but I also wanted to keep the windows I have. The bedrooms upstairs don’t allow me to use a solar tube. But, they told me “we have a solution for you”. After a few days, they convinced me to buy their special blinds. The slats of these blinds are so special that it works like mirrors that diffuse light! More than that, the sun no longer heats my living room. That’s really impressive!

Ligth Guidance Venetian Blinds

Kevin D. - Pasadena (CA)

I needed a sun protection sufficiently wide to cover my entire terrace. I went to different stores but none had the right product. I finally found Construction Progress on the internet. After only a few hours of waiting, I could get an answer and now I have a motorized pergola that covers the entire surface. Thank you for your excellent work!

Pergola Awning P40

Anonymous - Bel Air, Los Angeles (CA)

After many reviews and discussions with CPHBA, I was convinced that this new filter system in ceramic does a very efficient cleaning of the water. I was impressed by the demonstration. And it's very resistant and durable, so I decided to ask my pool builder to adapt this system to the pools and Jacuzzis.

CRYSTAR® FT Filters – HiPur

Anonymous - Malibu (CA)

This is a house facing the ocean with plenty of light coming from these large bay windows. I wanted the back rooms to be blessed with the same natural light as the main rooms. I chose the solution using optical fibers as a carrier. This solution is perfect.
