Grumble-
Not sure where my origial posts about this company/product disapeared to. You are correct when you say that thier sales tactics need to be revised and in some cases thier statements are downright false especially when it comes to excess materials from a canceled job... not true they never manufacture the panels until the job is finalized in the drafting department.
I am at the rough trades inspection point of my project (three weeks in!!) and I have to admit that this type of construction is great for new construction, but I do not reccomend it for additions. I am matching the existing ridgeline and wall height and have had to cut every panel down on site in order for the structure to look like it was all built at once instead of some additions you see and you notice a "hump or bump" where another room was added on.
Grumble, be prepared to have to do odd stuff to make your building department happy if you have to have the construction inspected because building departments are not very familiar with SIPs and all codes are written now to make standard stick framing envelopes more air tight with no exceptions for alternate framing methods.
Your materials delivery is going to be one large delivery and I reccomend renting a "reach all" fork lift and having at least one helper spot for you because they will stack the materials as high as they can get it on the truck and a regular fork lift will not be able to get at it.
Good luck and have fun. |
