Energy-efficiency is a major driving force for all our customers. Everyone loves the idea of saving money.

SIP wall thickness: 6 1/2" core 5 1/2"

SIPs on this project saved our costumers a considerable amount of money. Lumber prices were through the roof and building with SIPs was a no brainer. Plus not only the money savings but the daily savings on the energy bills made this option a slam dunk.

We have a 1,200 sq. ft. core floor storage space that was built with precast concrete. The 110' back deck engineered with floor trusses and then concrete was poured for the flooring and this deck is 11' off the ground. Creston "smart" home automation was used throughout this home.
