Process

Precision starts before the panels.

Move key decisions forward so design, engineering, manufacturing, logistics, and field work can speak the same language.

Five phases

A clear sequence for an integrated building system.

The exact responsibilities and deliverables depend on the project team. The sequence below explains the decisions that need to connect.

01

Fit

Should this project use SIPs?

  • Clarify the site and intended use
  • Identify ownership and operating goals
  • Review approximate size, budget context, and timing
  • Define what is known and what remains unverified

Outcome

A reasoned decision about whether to continue with a SIP pathway.

02

Plan

How should the building and panel system develop together?

  • Coordinate architecture and panel layout
  • Study openings, roof forms, spans, and cladding
  • Plan electrical, plumbing, mechanical, and ventilation routes
  • Set performance and verification priorities

Outcome

A coordinated design direction with fewer unresolved interfaces.

03

Engineer

What project specific approvals and details are required?

  • Advance structural design and calculations
  • Confirm code and permitting requirements
  • Coordinate manufacturer details and panel drawings
  • Resolve connections, penetrations, loads, and tolerances

Outcome

Approved information that can support manufacturing and field preparation.

04

Prepare

Is the site and team ready for the panel package?

  • Align foundation dimensions and tolerances
  • Confirm logistics, lifting, storage, and weather protection
  • Assign installation and inspection responsibilities
  • Sequence panels, materials, trades, and critical checks

Outcome

A shared field plan before components arrive.

05

Build

How will the enclosure be assembled and verified?

  • Receive and protect the panel package
  • Assemble in the planned sequence
  • Complete joints, openings, connections, and water management
  • Inspect critical details and continue the complete project scope

Outcome

An enclosure built from coordinated project information.

Start a project

Start at the phase you are in.

Bring early questions, a site, a sketch, or developed plans. The first task is to establish what the project needs next.
