Moving from architects drawings to your SIPS ECO House kit

Our highly experienced design team will take your architects building regulation drawings and simply convert them into a set of SIP frame drawings. If you do not have an architect, please give us a call and we can point you in the right direction.

When our design team have produced all your designs you can expect to receive, 3D visuals of your new home, visuals of the floor joist layouts, visuals of the fabrication drawing and site construction drawings for the frame erectors.

We use highly reliable and experienced engineers to provide loadings for the designers and structural calculations for the Sips system. If required, the engineer can provide substructure and super structure designs as well as SER certificates.

What’s in a Sips House Kit from Sips Eco?

When purchasing a SIPS house kit from SIPS ECO PANELS, we provide you with the entire structural shell.

What isn’t included?

Now time for the stuff we unfortunately don’t supply/organize as part of our standard kit. A MVHR system, doors, windows and all the ground works, we can however provide all these for an extra cost. You will need to obtain a full door and window schedule plus specification before we can supply a door and or window quote.
