SIP Building Advantages
SIPs are the key to energy efficient building. A few reasons why architects and builders are using SIPs:
- SIP buildings use approximately half the energy of conventional buildings.
- SIPs can be used for virtually any building design and are particularly useful when open designs with long roof spans are desired.
- SIPs can be erected 3x’s faster than conventional building.
- SIPs are an engineered product that can be designed to meet the required loads and are inherently stronger than conventional framing.
- Owners of SIP buildings report less interior noise, fewer drafts, and more consistent interior temperatures due to the continuous foam core inside every SIP.
- Due to their inherent air-tightness, SIPs make control of indoor air quality possible since incoming air can be filtered and stale air can be expelled in a controlled manner.
- SIP buildings may be insured for less, specifically in high wind areas due to their superior strength.
- Building with SIPs helps earn LEED points.

RAPID BUILD Technology
SIP Panel Technology – Rapid Build Technology – The Spartan Process
Whether starting from scratch for a new home/building or looking for expansion, Spartan can up your game.
The Spartan production team is ready to help you integrate Spartan SIP’s, as we pick one of the industry-leading products, and based on your timing, Spartan will choose the best MFG to supply the SIPS for your build.
Our Architects meet you and present a preliminary design of your needs- a 50,000 ft view.
Once you agree that is what you want, you make a progress payment, and engage our Architectural Team.
Our Architects will finish and create your digital blueprint designs and 3D walkthrough views, as progress payments are made, and when our clients give us the go sign, we send your plans to the factory.
The Factory will then finish all the individual panels, they are numbered to coincide with the building plans, wrapped up and shipped off to your home address.
When the panels are on site, Spartan provides building crews, or are we supply our on-the-ground technical support for builders who are new to the SIP building process to ensure crews are trained and confident in this rapid construction technology. Trained crews should be able to install your project in less than one week.
All the individual pieces fit together like a puzzle and create a fully sealed, highly energy efficient and resilient building envelope that stands up to fire, wind, water, pests without harmful VOCs or off gassing
