subject: Rome Was Not Built In A Day, But Your House Could Be! [print this page] Structural insulated panels are much faster than other traditional building material, and this offers many advantages.
Everything is figured out beforehand, which makes the building process nearly as easy as putting together a pre-made jig-saw puzzle. Also, since SIPs have amazing insulation properties, there is no need to worry about installing extra insulation. The building can also function without as many support beams because of the structural strength of the panels, which saves time in construction as well.
Advantages to Speedy Construction
One of the advantages to a quicker construction is that you will spend less money on labour costs, as there will be less work involved in putting your flat pack house together. All of the SIPs are prefabricated in a factory before they are brought to your land, so you do not waste as much time waiting for your home to be built. The panels are simply put together according to the building plan. If you are staying in alternative accommodation while you wait for your home to be built, such as a hotel or a rental, this can save you a lot of money as well.
The time it takes to construct the house will of course vary depending on the size and the complexity of the design. However, the average three-bedroom house takes approximately one week from a bare foundation to being completely wind and water-tight!
Another advantage is that your flat pack house does not need to be permanently tied to any location. Since they are so quick to construct and deconstruct, they can be moved and reassembled somewhere else. This would be virtually impossible with a traditionally constructed home.
Freedom of Choice
Flat pack houses come in a huge variety of shapes and sizes, with everything from a compact granny flat, a basic garden shed, a multi-level mansion, or a three-bedroom cottage available. There are also options to design your own home, if you cannot find a premade template that suits your needs. The flexibility of structural insulated panels is one of the reasons why they are so popular and used in so many different building projects.
The old saying goes that Rome was not built in a day. However, with the way flat pack home technology is going, your next home could be built in a day in the near future. Structural insulated panels are changing the world of home construction, making it faster and easier than ever before.
