Completed Kits

We've completed the kit shown in this post.  The eye-catching contemporary design replaces a traditional build on the East coast of Scotland.  We're looking forward to seeing photographs of the finished house in due course.

Congratulations!

Congratulations to Susan and Gerry Goldwyre for winning the Edinburgh section May the Best House Win on STV.  The programme has four homeowners visit each other’s homes, judging each one and giving a score out of ten. 

The Goldwyre’s woodland Eco-house on the bank of the river Esk beat three other homes in order to be voted the Best House.

SIPs Industries provided the SIPs panels for the Goldwyre’s house back in 2009, and it’s wonderful to see the finished project being so appreciated.  The house has also been featured in Homebuilding and Renovating Magazine.

You can watch the programme online on STV iPlayer until 17^th March 2011, the SIPs house is part 3.
