Using SIPs benefited the project in several ways. First and foremost was the speed at which the building was erected. We estimate that we saved roughly 30 days as compared to a steel building. Once the shell was completed, we needed to heat the inside in order to pull the frost out of the ground. By having a complete SIP envelope, we were able to complete this process more quickly than normal. This not only saved time and sped up the project, but it also resulted in considerable savings in the cost of heating during the construction process.
