ReadyCut

Simplicity - Speed - Savings

• All our panels are cut to fit standard size openings and are suitable for floors, walls and roof construction; with almost unlimited combinations providing design flexibility. A range of roof pitches is also available.

• The panels are held in stock for faster delivery and construction on site. SIPs ReadyCut panels are light and flat packed, providing easy handling and delivery to site.

• A more streamlined, efficient building system requiring less labour and site hours, thus reducing costs.

HIA WA Greensmart Award 2012

For the 3rd year running SIPS Industries Australia has received a HIA WA Greensmart Award. This year we have been awarded "Product of the Year" for our new patented product range - SIPS Ready Cut.

The jugdges praised the versatility and scope of SIPS Ready Cut "This product is an ideal example of a product which can be utilised in a myriad of ways, and one which is designed to make the whole building process easier, more time effective, and more cost effective. In our opinion, it's certainly a stand out product, and one which will potentially change the wider community's view to mainstream construction methods."

SORRENTO

SIPS Industries latest project is a 3 storey luxury residence with views of the coast just north of Perth.
SIPS Industries are supplying and installing the roof, external and internal walls and steel.
Being 3 stories there is some need for steel in the build. SIPS panels will work in perfectly to hide all the steel and because of our design there will be no thermal bridging.
Being close to the coast offers its own unique issues for designers and builders SIPS Industries have been able resolved them all.
Built on a strata block access is limited. SIPS Industries panel loads meant the panels could be craned in with the maximum efficiency.

Completed Projects

Another project from SIPs Australia today. This was a self build for a local builder - he had been interested in SIPs for some time, and took the opportunity of building his own house to try out the technology. 

With the guidance and assistance from the SIPs Industries Australia team, the client was able to install the majority of the SIPS panels himself, and had his project fully installed within a week.  

He was quite happy with the end result and we look forward to working with him again in the future.

Completed Projects

SIPs Industries Australia manufactured and installed the SIPs panels for West Perth Football club.

The project involved building a new staircase for the football shed.  The SIPs team enjoyed the challenge and the owner of the club was so happy with the results that he wants to use our products and services again soon.

SIPs ReadyCut

SIPS Industries Australia have launched the ReadyCut range of SIPs panels.  These are pre-engineered for Australian building regs, pre-cut in set sizes which fit standard door and window sizes.  Full details on the website:  http://www.sipsreadycut.com.au/

Completed Projects

SIPs Industries Australia provided the SIPS kit for this project.

Shows!

SIPs Industries Australia are back from the Inaugural Grand Design Live Exhibition at Sydney.

The turnout was very high, with a lot of interest in Kevin McLeod and a number of Australian presenters on the Lifestyle Channel that airs all the programs such as Grand Designs , Location Location, etc.

The SIPs stand was in the Grand Building section on the grand walkway one block back from the Grand Theatre and saw a pretty much constant stream of enquiries.  The first day was a bit of a challenge at 11 hours long!  Congratulations to the new team members who were thrown in at the deep end with a show only a few weeks after starting the job.

All in all the show was successful and worthwhile, with a number of good leads.  Thank you to all those who took the time to visit the stand. 

Grand Designs Live

Grand Designs Live Australia opens tomorrow at 10am at the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre and runs until Sunday 23rd.  Based on the TV programme, the show has been running in the UK for several years but this is the first time it has come to Australia.

SIPs Industries Australia will be there on Stand M35, so if you're coming to visit the show please feel free to drop in and see us to discuss your project.

Shows!

SIPs Industries UK will be at the Northern Homebuilding and Renovating Show at Harrogate International Centre from 4-6 November, and the Somerset Homebuilding and Renovating Show at the Bath and West Showground on 19th and 20th November.

On-going Projects

More images of this project in Australia.  You can clearly see the steel frame which will support the large span of the SIPs panels.

On-going projects

SIPs Australia have been working on this two-storey house in the Jarrah Forests to the south of Perth.    The design incorporates spacious, open living spaces and large windows, which are given extra support thorugh the use of steel A frames.

The location experiences a wide range of temperatures throughout the course of the year, from cold in Winter to heat in Summer.  SIPs were chosen for the thermal envelope of the build due to their thermal efficiency, high levels of insulation and speed of construction.

Shows!

We have several shows lined up over the next few months.  We will be on Stand 379 at the Surrey Homebuilding and Renovating Show at Sandown Park on 25th and 26th June 2011.   We have some complimentary passes left for this show, so if you'd like to attend please let us know how many you need and we will send them out to you.

We will also be at the Border Union Agricultural Show in Kelso, on the 29th and 30th July, so we have our fingers crossed for good weather!

There are two Homebuilding and Renovating Shows in November, at Harrogate and Bath respectively, and we are also planning on attending Grand Designs Live at Birmingham NEC in October.

SIPs Australia will also be at Grand Designs Live in Sydney on October 21st to 23rd.  This is the first Grand Designs Live show to be held in Australia, so it's exciting to be involved in it.

If you're planning on visitng any of the shows then we'd love to see you on the stand to discuss your project in person.  If you'd like us to provide a quote, please bring along a copy of your plans in either paper or electronic format to leave with us.

We look forward to seeing you!

HIA Greensmart Awards 2011

We are delighted that SIPs Industries Australia has been chosen as the winners of the HIA WA Greensmart Partnership Award 2011 for the project featured in this post.

The winning entry was the Landcorp Sales Office, designed by Coda Architects in Perth, WA.  SIPs Industries constructed the building in their factory, then transported in it modules to the site.  The design called for a reduced carbon footprint, along with high levels of efficiency to keep running costs down to the minimum.

The Greensmart judges were impressed that a working prototype has been used to enhance and re-engineer the improved end product. They thought that the project ticked all the boxes for a collaborative approach to innovative design outcomes.

In the News

One of the big advatages of using SIPs is that the panels are manufactured and cut to size in a fatory setting; this allows for minimal wastage of materials, both during the manufacturing of the kit and on site.

The advantages of this waste reduction are detailed in this article on a SIPs Industries Australia project, first published in the Weekend West Australian Homes section on the 14th May 2011.

Modular Buildings

SIPs Industries Australia have been in the news again, this time for a sales office which was constructed in the factory then transported to the site in modules.  The project has been entered into the HIA Greensmart Awards 2011, so fingers crossed!

A copy of the article, which first appeared in the Weekend West Australian Homes Liftout on 6th May 2011 is under the cut.  You can see more images of the office in this post.
