SIPs build with a brick build next door. Both concrete slabs laid the same day!

Is construction stuck in the past? Despite technological leaps in other industries, construction remains anchored in centuries-old practices. While industries around us have embraced innovation and evolved with the times, construction has clung stubbornly to outdated practices, earning the dubious distinction of being one of the least progressive industries of the modern era.

In Western Australia, the construction industry remains reliant on double brick construction. This traditional approach, once common, is ill-equipped to meet the urgent housing needs of our growing population and is insufficient for meeting new energy standards and requirements.

 The time for complacency is over. With new Property Council modelling predicting Western Australia’s housing deficit to grow by nearly 25,000 homes by the end of 2027, coupled with the rising costs of trades, material supply issues into WA, and new 7 Star energy requirements - urgent action is needed. What we require are healthy and highly energy efficient buildings which meet 2028 and beyond agreed National standards.

Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) are the answer to construction's stagnation. These panels revolutionise building with integrated insulation and engineered structure. With SIPs, construction becomes faster, more efficient, and more sustainable. Our panels are tailored to cater to the demands of the contemporary housing market while ensuring compliance with forthcoming regulatory standards.

Several advantages of SIPs industries that align with the needs of the housing market include:

1. Rapid construction with a 1 week shell installation.
2. Enhanced thermal performance for improved energy efficiency.
3. Airtight structures with an average of 0.5 air changes per hour, meeting Passive House standards or better.
4. Minimal thermal bridging, optimizing insulation effectiveness.
5. Reduced reliance on steel and structure, minimizing the overlap of trades.
6. Lower carbon footprint, contributing to environmental sustainability.
7. Decreased need for wet trades and overall trade count.

It is time to leave the past behind and embrace the future. Construction may have been stagnant for too long, but with SIPs Industries leading the way, change is on the horizon.
