How Do SIPs compare in cost to stud framing? • More • Less • Same • All of the above
IT DEPENDS • ON
What standard applies? • Energy Performance Standard • Less than MEC • MEC • Energy Star 30%>MEC • Energy Star Plus 50%>MEC • Zero Energy Buildings ZEB
What are the Design Standards and Specifications? • Wall Panels only • Tall walls • Roof Panels • Spans • Loads • R-value • Complexity
What type of Environment? • High wind load • Seismic loads • High Snow load • Damp, wet, cool climates
Loan Cost Overhead Additional Opportunity Profit Additional Interest Temp Elec. Savings Temp Heat Accounting for all the $Early completion
Rim Joist Insulation and Seal Site Pilferage Whole House Sealing Air Barrier Heating & AC System Cost Whole House Ventilation Duct Design Reduction Waste Disposal Costs Subcontractor reductions Accounting for all the $Construction Costs
Trim Cost Labor Stud culling labor & waste Straighten Stud Walls Drywall Callback Home Energy Rating/Energy Star Saving Mold & Mildew Accounting for all the $Better Quality
Carrying & Overhead Cost Reductions • Cost of temporary heat in Northern Michigan= over $300
Builder Benefits with SIPs • High Performance Image • Build More Projects • Faster dry-in and cycle time • Predictable Scheduling • Eliminate call backs • Straight, flat, true walls • No drywall nail pops • No cracks due to lumber shrinkage • No “comfort complaints” • Easy to qualify for Energy Star • MORE REVENUE!
