    SELF-BUILD CONSTRUCTION

    Q How long does a SIPs build take to erect on site?

    A typical two-storey 200m2 house could take just 12 days to factory fabricate and then 12 days to erect on site.

    This means savings on costs like scaffolding, plant hire and site insurance, bringing overall project costs in line with other build systems. Allan Corfield
