Building With Sips
“INVEST IN INNOVATION TO LOWER COST”
Whether you build one home or 1000, using the Innova Panelized Construction System will not only cut the cost of construction, but it will also dramatically lower the operating and maintenance costs over the useful life of the buildings. Innova’s structural insulated panel Building Kits are available in three structural design levels.
120 mph wind rated building kit
150 mph wind rated building kit
180 mph wind and impact rated building kit
Earthquake seismic design can be added to any Innova building kit for an additional fee.
With all building envelope components engineered and built in our factory to exacting specifications, the Innova fast-track construction system accelerates the building schedule while using less labor which saves the building Owner money.
For example, a Five-person crew of unskilled labor can erect most Innova single-family home building envelope in as little as four days.

Who Can Build an Innova Kit Home?
Any licensed contractor with residential building experience should be able to construct our energy efficient Innova Kit Home with little difficulty. A crew of four workers, each with a power screwdriver and common carpenter’s tools, can do all the work. A sturdy movable scaffold (or two) is helpful, especially for the erection of the wind frame. A fork lift is also helpful for lifting the roof panels into position. On larger homes, the roof panel spans may be greater requiring the use of a LULL or crane for hoisting the panels into position. Installation cost vary depending on the difficulty of the design, the structural wind rating and any earthquake rating or seismic design considerations. It is recommended that Contractors that are not experienced SIP installers reference the above document, “How Much Will it Cost to Install my SIP House” when estimating Innova SIP installation cost for the first time.
