You email us your enquiry with drawings in a scalable PDF format. These can be planning drawings as long as we have elevations*. We then email you back to acknowledge your enquiry and give an estimate as to when you should receive your quotation.

* Plans and site layout

Generally 2 weeks

Our Quotation will be fully detailed showing all inclusions and exclusions we have considered. We will also include a structural schematic to support the information provided which can be used by your Architect as a guide on wall thicknesses, floor joist depths and general specification.

Once we receive your instructions to proceed, which can be a simple phone call or email, we will then send you our Request For Information Form (RFI). Please fill this out at your earliest convenience and return to us via email.

We will then raise all standard documentation detailing the terms of the agreement between us. This will provide helpful information on what is required from you, our provisional start date and all our internal contacts.

At this stage we will request a deposit payment and inform you of the other stage payments that we will require through to Handover.

Our commercial and project management team will contact you to arrange a pre-start meeting either in person at a location to suit you or online subject to your preferences. We can then answer all your queries on project specifics such as drawing requirements, access, timing, our process going forward and ultimately when the installation of your SIP buildng can commence. We will also discuss potential value engineering and buildability suggestions to aid your design process.

Following this meeting we will await the fully detailed architects drawings before we can move to the next stages. During the meeting our commercial team will also advise whether any cost variations are likely if the designs are going to be altered, our up-front approach sets us apart from our competitors.

Once we receive your final Architects CAD drawings we will instruct our engineers to produce the loading information for you to design your foundations prior to starting the groundworks. We then conduct an initial engineering review looking at the best options to progress.

Our engineers will also provide full structural calculations at a later stage for you to submit to Building Control if required.

6-8 weeks

We will appoint one of our CAD Technicians to detail your project and prepare all the necessary manufacturing information needed to
produce your SIP building.

You will be provided with a set of General Arrangement drawings which you can check and approve as a key stage in the process. We work with your design team regarding any variations/alterations that ensue from the process.

Approx 1 week
(Prior to Manufacture)

Our drawings will show the SIP plans, sections and elevations which we have developed from your Architects drawings for you to check and confirm acceptance so we can begin the manufacturing process.

Once confirmation is received we will also send a site specific scaffold plan to enable you to organise suitable scaffold arrangements.

We will re-visit site to check with you on progress and to ensure the site is going to be ready for us to commence work as agreed.

Approximately 2-3 weeks for average dwelling

3-4 SIPS Erectors will be in attendance, generally using a City Crane to offload vehicles and install the SIPS. Welfare will need to be provided and
each of our installation gangs have a supervisor to accord with current Site Health and Safety Legislation.

Handover Stage

Once we have completed our works and wrapped the building in breather paper for weather protection we will meet you on site to conduct a standard handover procedure to ensure complete customer satisfaction.
