I know the house in this video isn't finished but the purpose is to show you the fastest and cheapest way to build a single-family dwelling, according to the builder's experiences!

Your time is precious!  Structural Insulated Panels (aka SIPS) can help you move into your dream home sooner. These panels arrive prefabricated with insulation and sheathing already in place, eliminating the need for on-site framing and cutting. This streamlined process can reduce construction time by up to 50% when compared to stick house framing, allowing you to enjoy your new house much faster. You will have to submit your building plans or blueprints to the SIPS manufacturer so that they will have an idea of what you are trying to build.  

Although they look like a giant ice cream sandwich, the foam core sandwiched between Oriented Strand Boards (aka OSB) creates a highly effective thermal barrier, minimizing heat transfer and air leaks. SIPS have higher R-values than stick built houses insulated with fiberglass insulation. When constructing with OSB insulated panels, you are building, insulating and sheathing simultaneously. 

Earlier models of SIPS used to be prewired for electrical, allowing for professional or novice electricians to do minimal work, but I don't see those on the market anymore.

Although lightweight, these panels are incredibly strong and durable. The adhesive binding the OSB, and foam core creates a monolithic structure that's resistant to high winds, earthquakes, and even fire (especially the SIP panels made of steel). This translates to a safer, more secure home that can withstand the elements for generations. Plus, they are manufactured with less wood and waste compared to traditional house framing. 

SIPS panels have better air sealing, minimizing air leaks and infiltration of dust, pollen, and allergens. Allowing for a healthier indoor environment, for people that are seeking a cleaner more breathable living space.

Ultimately, the choice between SIPS and stick framing depends on your individual priorities and your pocketbook. Weigh the pros and cons carefully and don't hesitate to consult with construction professionals if you need advice.

Note: Most SIPS are made with the same OSB, such as those 4'8' pieces, sold at Home Depot and Lowe's! The price per sheet depends on the thickness of the OSB sheathing.
