SUMMARY:Real Builders & Real Answers Roundtable: Why Smart Builders Use SIPs
DESCRIPTION:This webinar combines decades of knowledge from SIP builders with SIP commercial and residential structures. These builders will also discuss SIP builder resources and how to start your SIP construction journey. \nJoin SIPA and a panel of SIP building experts for the EEBA Real Builders & Real Answers Roundtable. This interactive discussion will answer all your live audience questions regarding how SIPs can work for you! This forum introduces prospective builders (those on the fence about SIPs) to SIP science\, firsthand testimony and building facts. Engage with us about the most beneficial features\, industry myths and real-world projects that easily achieve and exceed high-performance criteria – even in the most stringent states. \nLearning Objectives: \n1) Demystify why SIPs save labor\, reduce waste and simplify installation by weeks \n2) Understand why the electrical and plumbing trades save time with SIPs installs \n3) Convince your framers that SIPs are not complicated to use \n4) Learn how code officials can reduce time and inspections on your SIP projects
