Panelized Walls and Floor installation done by Leading Edge Homes. Project Management by Greenleaf construction . Product supplied by Atlas Structural systems
I’m a Framing contractor now custom builder I saw this in a subdivision in Northern VA in the mid 1980s but never got to see it erected . It’s really a superior way of doing things and if you use metal straps on the components it a much stronger product. For the components to be lifter like this they have to be nailed well and braced well thanks for the cool video.
@@CharlesSavvy I used to stick build and panel build with 2x4's and 2x6's as well for last 20 years, Never again. SIPs are the only way to go. Cost is comparable and the benefits of SIP's are just too great to go back to stick build. I've used SIPs for flooring as well, especially for rooms over garage space, tremendous benefit there. Max effective R-value of a 2x6 stick built wall is R-12-14 with fiberglass or open-cell spray foam, whereas 6.5" SIP R value is a constant 38-40 along entire wall, but superior insulation is only 1 of the many benefits. SIP wall can sustain hurricane winds and will stop lumber projectiles from going through the wall, but it's easy to penetrate a stick-built wall with fiberglass or blown insulation. Real-life testing: Watch this video to see what I mean: ua-cam.com/video/WnQNFYiewBg/v-deo.html
Not all SIPs are created equal, though. I started using SIPs with the very common EPS foam, but I've switched to PUR foam, tremendous difference and improvement in rigidity, snow load capacity and higher R-values, and PUR foam will NOT burn, another added benefit. One manufacturer, Eco-Panel is now making 1-piece outside corners for SIPs = zero air infiltration at corners and joints. Only problem I've ran into when building with SIPs is I've had to make sure HVAC contractors use a manual J calculation when sizing their units, otherwise if they're lazy they'll just use the standard 600sq.ft. per ton for heating/cooling, when a SIP home only requires 1500-2000 sq.ft. per ton. I built a 2000 sq.ft. ranch outside Chicago and I had to convince the contractor to put a small furnace and 1.5 ton A/C, which he fought hard against; but those units were too much for that house even, so I had to replace them with even smaller ones. That house has crazy low heating and cooling costs.
Excellent and very impressive presentation. Were the roof modules on the foundation to make sure of fit before you were 2 stories up - or did you just need a place to store them out of the mud? The only other thing I could not figure out was where the foundation does not reach the ground - and the sloped ponywall there.

I have a question bud. Doesnt the bottom of the panels need to have a over hang so that it can be nailed to the rim board? Im not trynna be a smart ass lol is that i see it alot on videos wer the rim board is exposed so i wanna know so o learn... Thnx brother
Nice clean frame, not sure how you get away with blowing off OSHA safety rules. No hard hats with over head loads in air, no handrails or fall protection at second floor, open holes in the floor no safety rails at second level windows etc. We would not be in business for long around my neck of the woods with this approach to safety, just sayin.
There is always that one guy.... Who cares about OSHA and their outdated recommendations... You really think a hard hat is going to help you when a few tons gets dropped on you? GTFOH..
@@PreciseAutoSport Yeah nothing would get done, he's probably union so ya. People tying off fall protection all day, more of a tripping hazard than a fall hazard.
No hard hats No high visibility vest No tie off No work boots Men wearing shorts. No plates under outrigers Men under load Over extended boom Guaranteed under insured Don't worry about it everything will be fine. Gotta get lowest bid.
well, since you are an expect in construction safety regs, you already know they are exempt from most OSHA regs being a "temporary" build site. the workers are free to leave and get jobs flipping burgers, no one is forcing their hand.
@@SuperDrumwolf maybe you can get away with that South of the Border other countries hear in the United States OSHA is King that job would be shut down and fines heavily levelled levied. I don't know exactly where this job site was or when it took place but you cannot have men under load without full P.E. clearly there is a dangerous work environment complete disregard for personal safety personnel

Congratulations, I loved the video; Greetings from Chile, to the South of the world!
Impressive!
Fantastic, that is how a house should be built.
Not so. All houses should be built with SIPs, including the roof. 2x4 framing is the most inefficient and wasteful way to build.
JC, these would be 2x6. SIPs are great, I agree. I should have said, building with sticks, this is a very smart way.

Cool idea. My concern would be sealing and that its nailed/secured properly

aqui hacen magia con la madera
Nice. How much more does this cost over traditional framing?
I have a question bud. Doesnt the bottom of the panels need to have a over hang so that it can be nailed to the rim board? Im not trynna be a smart ass lol is that i see it alot on videos wer the rim board is exposed so i wanna know so o learn... Thnx brother
How much time and labor it took to fabricate all of these panels?
Impressive, we do it in a days work.
Not according to your channel...Troll
The best 👌
Where's the fall safety gear?
That looked animated to me.
So In what way is this framing this looks like someone that’s prefabs and goes to site and puts walls in the right area any joe can do this
Thank you for explaining this
What's the time lapse on this, a day?
Read the bottom right corner of the video. 2 days
What software do you use?
So where are the framers .... j wish larry could seen this
larry haun ❤❤❤
@@maxwellkellogg3674 Larry was an amazing old school Framer.
You guys are doing a ccc thing it’s much harder ok
So basically site built homes are now no different than mobile homes, pieces made in a factory.
No. Mobile homes are on a steel frame and come out with wheels. Panelized homes are built using stick framing methods, but in factories.
I want to build with EPS
You call this a house

Ya, if I was standing under this suspending roof module, I'd feel a lot safer with my hard hat on.😉

@@VB10FORLIFE what is a bump hat? All I see are baseball hats
@@steventhury8366 That'll save ya
No hard hats
No high visibility vest
No tie off
No work boots
Men wearing shorts.
No plates under outrigers
Men under load
Over extended boom
Guaranteed under insured
Don't worry about it everything will be fine.
Gotta get lowest bid.

You see the little .ca at the end of their website.. That means this is in CANADA... You must be an OSHA inspection twat...
@@SuperDrumwolf @PreciseAutoSport what is a temporary build site?. There are still OSHA or CCOHS regs.
@@tonytunnell9873 Thanks for the advice Karen
