Agricultural SIP Project Winners
Land and Cattle SIP Office Ideal, SD
A major benefit of using SIPs in the construction of the JLC Office Building was the time savings factor. Robb and his crew were able to set 320 lineal feet of wall panel in one day. In December 2016, despite single digit temperatures, the construction crew got almost all of the exterior walls up in one week. Because of the remote location, finding construction labor was a challenge. SIPs made it easier to build using fewer people.
