Structural Insulated Panels ( SIPs ) have come into their own as perhaps the optimum building system currently available.
SIPs, consisting of a core of recyclable foam insulation laminated between OSB ( Oriented Strand Board ), appear to offer it all: fast and simple construction, design flexibility, sustain ability, cost savings and very impressive energy savings. SIP building systems are equally suitable for Residential or Commercial applications. SIP building systems dramatically speed up construction completion - installation of the walls and roof combine exterior framing, as walls and insulation are erected in a single step. Quicker Construction, Superior Strength,
Superior Energy Efficiency, More Fire Resistant and Saves Money Over-all. What reason could there be for someone to choose any other way to build ?

* SIPs *
1) Enjoy savings in labor costs: SIPs can save money on projects , anywhere from $2.00 to $4.00 per Sq. ft. in overall construction cost , depending on ,
Area, Floor Plan and Roof design.
2) Include electrical chases in each wall ( horizontally & vertically ) as required by Project Plans.
3) Have dramatically less waste.
4) Pre-numbered panels leave nothing to guess work and make construction easy.
Panels are pre-cut to specification and numbered at the factory.
5) Panels are produced without Formaldehyde or CFC’s and Do Not produce
out gassing , making them a viable option for most environmentally sensitive
people.
6) Temperatures remain almost constant throughout the day and night, resulting
in increased comfort. R-value , 6" wall ( R-25 ) 8" roof ( R-32)
7) Any Interior and Exterior applications may be used in Conjunction with SIPs.

For Someone to Build or Rebuild using Conventional Stick Frame Construction, they must want;

1) to wait and pay more in Interest Payments on their loan.
2) to end up with a weaker structure.
3) to pay higher Utility Bills.
4) to be vulnerable to Fire.
