SIPs Kit on the way to completion May 2009



SIPs Kit on the way to completion May 2009

SIPs Industries provided the SIPs Kit for this training centre back in May 2009.  The client wanted a dedicated centre to provide on-site training apprentices and other staff.  The training centre was officially opened in November 2009, more details  can be found here.

On-going projects

This SIPs Industries kit on the East coast of Scotland is progressing well.  These aerial photographs taken at the end of January show the house beginning to take shape.

Weather!

The severe weather we’ve been having this week has impacted on two of our sites, both of them in the West of Scotland.  A school near one of our sites has been closed for the day due to structural damage caused by the storm, and we’ve been unable to get out to the islands to complete a kit this week.  Fingers crossed the weather is better next week!

The BBC has stories both on the weather we’ve had over the past few days, and the forecast here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-12362278

Completed Projects

We mentioned in our last newsletter that one of our completed projects - ‘The Barn, Dalqueich’ -had won an award in the Kinross-shire Civic Trust Architectural Awards 2010. 

The project received a Highly Commended for Architectural Design and Construction Work of Merit, and was particularly commended on “the straightforward way it expressed its method of construction, and the way the structure fitted with the spaces required for the accommodation and room functions.”  The judges also commented that “The selection of materials was well controlled and appropriate to the design.”

There wasn’t enough space in the Newsletter to show any pictures of the project, so here are some now:

Completed Kits

This is the internal upstairs of a recently completed SIPs Industries kit.  Hopefully we'll get to see finished photographs in a few months, it's always good to see the SIPs kits turned into homes.
