Building your new home with Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) is a smooth process made even easier when working with us, Smart SIPs.
Below, we take you through the steps on how to build a SIPs house, but first, let us tell you why you should consider these panels in the first place:
Panels arrive ready to assemble
Our SIPs are prefabricated and arrive onsite ready for installation.
Quick installation process
SIPs come together quickly for the following reasons:
Prefabrication means that they ready to assemble
Being precision cut means there’s no need for onsite modifications, reducing time spent cutting and significantly reducing human error.
Two jobs are completed at the same time - framing and insulation.
Streamlined construction
A faster installation, completing two jobs at once and reducing your onsite waste leads to a streamlined process, getting you to lockup quicker.
Cost-effective now and longterm
The quick and easy nature of SIPs leads to:
A faster construction process reducing labour costs
Getting to lockup quicker
Significantly lower
Stay on budget by avoiding the uncertainty of timber supply and rising costs
Ongoing reduced energy costs in your new home
Sustainable
Our panels are sustainable as we use a sheathing that is essentially:
carbon neutral
Recyclable
Disposable as a soil nutrient
Paired with less construction waste and reduced on-going energy usage, your build will have a much lower carbon footprint.
Increased strenght
When you build a SIPs home, you’re reaping all of the benefits mentioned above plus your home will be stronger and safer.
Customisable to your design
The strength, durability and customisation capabilities of SIPs helps you avoid the limitations of typical framing and achieve your dream home. Learn more on our home design services page.

Steps for building a SIPs home
Whether you want to tackle the job yourself or have professionals, such as us or a registered builder, do the work for you, we believe that anyone can build a SIPs house.
Here is an overview, but please contact us if you’d like more information or have any questions. We’re always happy to help and you can learn more about us and our philosophy here: our story.
Step 1: set up corner panels
Just gather together a few friends to help with the installation. Set up the first corner with two Smart SIPs panels then square, level and plumb.
Step 2: time for wall panels
Your other wall panels are now ready for installation. Work your way out from the first corner.
Step 3: internal panels
Now it’s time for your internal wall panels.
Step 4: roof
Once your internal panels are up, you’re now ready for the roof.
