International Projects


We've been working in Zambia on this project for a mining company.  The mining compnay wanted to provide accommodation for the workers to sleep on site rather than having to travel several miles to the nearest town.

As usual, we will be delighted to discuss your building project with you.  If you have plans feel free to bring them along to discuss and leave a copy for quoting.  We can accept plans in both paper and electronic format.

We have our fingers crossed for good weather, and hope to see you there!

Completed Projects

View from upstairs.
We had a phone call yesterday from the client for whom we built this house back in November 2010.  They said that they look set to move in in a month's time!

It's fantastic to hear that their new home is almost ready to live in, and we look forward to taking them up on their offer to visit and take photographs once they are all settled in.

Completed SIPs kit in November 2010.

Barn Conversion


This ariel photograph shows a barn conversion done with SIPs in the Scottish Borders.  We provided the SIPs kit for the project a year ago. 


More photographs of the SIPs kit during installation can be found on our website.

Another one from the archives today.  SIPs Industries provided the kit for this project in Nottinghamshire in 2008.  More images are under the cut.

Oak Frame

We've just completed the kit for this Oak Frame on Jersey. 

The Oak Frame was installed before the SIPs Industries team arrived on site.


The SIPs panels are used as external cladding for the Oak Frame.


The project went very smoothly - we had anticipated a full two weeks on site and the team were home within that time.
