Building Better with Habitat for Humanity
Marshall, MN
In Marshall, Minnesota, Habitat for Humanity partnered with Extreme Panel Technologies to build a high-performance home using Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) and a volunteer crew. With guidance from the Extreme team, volunteers quickly learned the installation process, demonstrating how approachable SIP construction can be for Habitat affiliates. The walls and roof were set in just a day and a half, helping reduce jobsite labor while creating a tight, energy-efficient building envelope designed to support lower operating costs and long-term affordability for the homeowner.

For the Marshall Habitat build, a volunteer crew worked alongside the Extreme team to turn a foundation into a standing structure with remarkable speed. The project demonstrated how thoughtful design, prefabrication, and an easy-to-learn installation process can help Habitat affiliates make the most of their volunteers and time on the jobsite.
