Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I use Advanced Build Northwest for my construction needs?

Advanced Build NW Inc - we are a friendly, locally owned construction company building Structurally Insulated Panels Systems, or SIPS. These innovative products can be used in any traditional construction application with more benefits to the consumer.No one has a better reputation, and if you give us the chance, we’ll show you why! At Advanced Build NW Inc, we have been specializing in SIPS construction for over 16 years and are excited to share this amazing product with you. SIPS construction has been around for many years but is still relatively unknown in the building industry. It is an amazing product with so many advantages over the traditional stick frame construction method. For example, it has a higher R-value that results in lower heating and cooling costs, increased structural integrity, reduced construction times, straighter and stronger walls, less environmental impact with no off gassing and a quarter of the construction waste of a stick framed structure. This is where the saving starts. We are dedicated to building in such a way that minimizes our carbon footprint while creating a safe and comfortable environment for your family. With us, you can expect quality workmanship, competitive pricing, and excellent customer service.
What are Structural Insulated Panel Systems, or SIPs?

SIPs are panels used in construction for floors, walls, and roofs. They offer various performance advantages compared to the traditional stick framing process. SIPs are made by sandwiching a core of rigid foam plastic insulation with structural facings. They are manufactured under factory controlled conditions and can be designed for each project’s custom needs. The final result is a building system that is not only structurally sound and stable but also energy efficient. SIPs will reduce construction time, reduce labor, and save you money.
How environmentally friendly are SIPs?

Structural insulated panels are very much great for the environment. They are particularly useful in their insulation. SIPs make homes extremely airtight, allowing for better control over indoor air quality, as well as reducing construction waste and thus saving natural resources. Heating and cooling a home becomes much more energy efficient since the airflow is more contained. This reduces energy waste and greenhouse gas emissions over the building’s life cycle.
What is the R value of SIPs?

The R-values for SIPs will change depending on the thickness of the SIP and the core material used. The Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory has tested the performance of SIP wall assemblies in large sections. The final result of the whole-wall R-value data showed that a 4-inch SIP wall rated at R-14 outperforms a 2x6 wall with R-19 fiberglass insulation.
What is the building process for SIPs?

The production of a SIP building starts with the construction documents. When a SIP manufacturer like Advanced Build NW has the construction documents, they can be converted to SIP shop drawings. The drawings are reviewed by the appropriate professionals involved in the construction and then are finalized. This is followed by the fabrication of the SIPs, which are then shipped to the job site for installation.
