Cut Cost & Increase Savings with SIP Room Additions

Building a room addition using SIPs means you will be able to cut labor costs and benefit from short and long term savings. Constructing a room addition with SIPs costs no more than conventional framing. Even in cases when SIP panels are more expensive than normal framing materials, the savings in labor erases the difference in cost. A study conducted by the R.S. Means unit of Reed Construction Data shows that building with SIPs can reduce framing labor needs by as much as 55 percent over conventional stick framing.

Enjoy Short‑ and Long‑Term Savings

More short term savings can be found in decreased jobsite waste disposal costs, a smaller loan interest, inexpensive electrical installation, and virtually no construction callbacks. Since SIPs are prefabricated, little to no waste is created during construction, reducing waste management costs and landfill fees. A room addition built with SIPs can be fully constructed in a matter of days. This means homeowners can expect to save weeks of interest when building under a construction loan. Pre‑installed wire chases in SIP panels makes electrical installations quick and easy since there is no need to drill studs or cut holes for electrical wiring. Building with SIPs also means eliminating the possibility of bowed studs. SIPs are manufactured to perfection so you get only the straightest of walls, saving you from having to call your installer for a return fix‑it project.

The long term savings of building with SIPs is another benefit to homeowners. When building an entire house out of SIPs, homeowners can see reductions in heating and cooling costs of 60 percent or more. Your room addition built of SIPs will also consume less energy as it will most likely be the warmest room in the house each winter and the coolest in the summer. Now you can enjoy added living space with the additional room on your house without accruing more energy costs. It will almost be like the room addition doesn't really exist it's that energy efficient!
