How It Works

1

Precision-Cut Panels,
Made To Order

Your home starts with a custom SIP package, CNC-machined for exact fit. Every panel arrives pre-cut with window, door, and electrical chases — labeled and ready for install.
2

Shell Assembled in Days,
Not Weeks

Your contractor or builder assembles the SIP shell on-site in as little as 5–10 days. No stick framing. No measuring. Just fast, panelized construction.
3

The Shell is Ready for Your Vision

Once enclosed, your SIP shell is sealed, insulated, and protected — ready for HVAC,electrical, plumbing, and your personal touches.

Building With SIPs v.s. Traditional

Category
SIPs
Traditional Stick Framing
Construction Timeline
Faster by 50-60%; 7-10 days for a 2,000 sq. ft. home.
Slower; 14-20 days for a 2,000 sq. ft. home.
Energy Savings Over Lifetime
Airtight construction leads to $500-$700 annual savings; $25,000-$35,000 over 50 years.
Standard energy bills; $25,000-$35,000 higher over 50 years compared to SIPs.
Maintenance Costs
Minimal; savings of $4,000-$8,000 over 50 years due to resistance to mold, rot, and pests.
Higher; additional $5,000-$10,000 over 50 years due to routine repairs and upkeep.
Environmental Impact
Reduces material waste by up to 60%; lifetime energy efficiency reduces carbon footprint.
Higher material waste; less energy efficiency increases carbon footprint.
Structural Strength
Engineered to withstand winds up to 200 mph+, making it ideal for high-wind and hurricane-prone regions.
Can handle winds up to 110-130 mph; additional reinforcement required for extreme conditions.
Labor Costs
Lower; $8,000-$12,000 for a 2,000 sq. ft. home.
Higher; $12,000-$18,000 for a 2,000 sq. ft. home.
Design Flexibility
Panels are pre-manufactured; requires advance planning for custom designs.
Fully customizable on-site; easier for last-minute changes.
Lifetime ROI (50 years)
65-80% ROI due to cumulative energy, maintenance, and insurance savings.
30-40% ROI due to higher operational and maintenance costs.

ADUs & Guest Houses

Compact. Resilient. Move-in Ready in Weeks. Perfect for backyards, rentals, or family housing solutions. Our ADU SIP shells are typically installed in 5–7 days, giving you a sealed, insulated structure ready for trades in under two weeks.

Single family home shells

Build Faster. Save More. Live Better. Our most popular shell kits can be fully installed in 7–10 days. That’s wall panels, roof structure, and a weather-tight envelope — completed in a fraction of the time of traditional framing, with long-term energy and insurance savings baked in.

Townhome shells

Consistent. Scalable. Efficient. For developers and multifamily builders, SIP construction dramatically shortens cycle times. Shell installation timelines vary by unit count, but most projects see a 50–60% reduction in framing labor compared to conventional stick-built systems.

All Green Edge Home shells are built from nationally certified structural insulated panels (SIPs) — engineered for resilience, energy efficiency, and speed. Every package includes:

Frequently asked questions

What are Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs)?
SIPs are high-performance building panels used for walls, floors, and roofs. They consist of an insulated foam core sandwiched between two structural facings. The structural facings are typically oriented strand board (OSB). Green Edge Homes SIPs consist of both ZIP board (a type of OSB) and Hardie board (cement board), depending on the application. This type of construction offers superior strength, energy efficiency, and durability.
What makes SIPs better than traditional construction methods?
SIPs offer faster construction times, reduced energy costs (up to 60%), improved durability, and environmental sustainability by minimizing construction waste.
How long does it take to build a SIP home?
Construction with SIPs is typically 50-60% faster than traditional methods. A 2,000 sq. ft. home can be assembled in 7-11 days, depending on complexity.
Do you offer installation services?
While we don’t have in-house global building crews, we can assist by recommending certified contractors for installation, or alternatively, provide instructional guidance if you choose to build yourself.
Do you provide financing options?
Yes, we work with several financing partners and programs, including VA loans, FHA loans, and USDA loans.
Are SIP homes resistant to extreme weather?
Yes, SIPs are designed to withstand high winds (up to 300 mph), making them ideal for hurricane-prone or high-wind areas. Due to the tight building envelope, they are also flood resistant up to a certain water level.
