That's exactly what I'm trying to find out. My guess it that these days with lumber prices raising due to COVID disruptions and high demand, it might not be much different at all, with all the benefits of using SIP panels over stick framing (in my opinion). I wish someone would compare the exact same floor plan's costs doing it both ways. Everybody always says "it's hard to say because it depends on the details". But if you compared the same floor plan, that would be at least a start. Seems easy, but I haven't found it yet.
@@marlaplunk2833 I was wondering can one make DIY EPS panels. It does not sound or looks difficult but what do I know? Any take on this from anybody? I am thinking of doing DIY garden room with home made EPS

We are not sure of the cost of a container home, and as with any building project, there are many variables. If you are considering a building project with SIPs, we would encourage you to talk to one of our authorized builders for a complete quote.
This is cool but how safe is it to, let's say: Wall Mount a TV" or something like that when you don't have studs, I don't think that white foam in between the strand board will hold heavy weight but I could be wrong.
I watched introductory video again. The panels are erected on concrete block solid foundation so no Ants problem should arise, may be I am wrong. EPS would clarify..
I live on the south Texas coast. Are there hurricane ratings established for these buildings? How about humidity standards since we have humid salty air. Finally, could you put me in contact with a rep? SW of Houston..
EPS serves the U.S. from the Rocky Mountains east to New England and as far south as Texas. We have a network of over 400 builders and would be happy to connect you with one of them.
@peter conway you can email me and I will connect you with a local District Sales Manager to answer your questions. My email is epsmarketing@epsbuildings.com
its full of thermal bridging; all installations or structural elements placed inside the panels will lower insulation locally; mixing structure, instalations and insulation all together is a bad design
@@ictrains9731 this clips shows it clearly; its obvious that when you place a structural/wooden element inside a space that should contain insulation you create a thermal bridge; same happens with electrical, septic and other installations
@@robertbrandywine you make a construction layer with installations and insulate it from the outside; insulate under the slab; insulate over rafters; insulation is continuous and uniform
@@MhUser So, a conventional stud wall with studs every 16" has thermal bridging every 16 inches. These walls have them on each end of the panels, which could span at least 8 feet. I'm not great at math, but the SIP panels seem to have mathematically much more efficiency of thermal bridging than conventional stud walls.
Excellent, informative video.
what software was used to make this project?
Do you have a British Columbia recommended company?
What is the cost difference between one of these and a stick built home?

@@victoriabishop1057 I'm thinking about this to. It is cheaper, but a lot more evolved to get them to fit precisely

Thermal, sound.
is it cheaper to build than container home?

@@EnergyPanelStructures Can you send me a list of authorized builders with SIP?
Are these walls load-bearing? I see no columns or support?
i know Im quite off topic but do anyone know a good place to stream newly released tv shows online?
@Dustin Elian try flixzone. You can find it by googling :)
@Korbin Jericho Yup, have been using flixzone for months myself :D
@Korbin Jericho thanks, signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :D Appreciate it !!
@Dustin Elian no problem :)
How do you get upstairs?
Walk duh?????
@@labian5 No he's right, they put the flooring over the entire house. The entrance would have to be outside.
You build a stairway to the second floor (Inside or outside of the building.
Climb on a tree to the window
Marwan Abuhasan Or use a trampoline. Or giraffe. 😆

OSB is way more than enough for such an application. You can mount few hundred kg water tank on the wall and it will be ok. No worries here..
Ball park cost per square foot?
We can do it for about $150 a square foot. Are you in Wichita ks or near?
What about ants burrowing into the panels and chewing up the foam?
I watched introductory video again. The panels are erected on concrete block solid foundation so no Ants problem should arise, may be I am wrong. EPS would clarify..
how do ensure no leakage which will cause mould?
Window flashing tape all exterior seams. Use a house wrap too!
Florida building code approved?
termite approved
Forgive me, but what is it about hurricanes that Americans do not understand?
I live on the south Texas coast. Are there hurricane ratings established for these buildings? How about humidity standards since we have humid salty air.
Finally, could you put me in contact with a rep? SW of Houston..
what goes on the inside of the sip panel? does that just get painted or is there another layer?
Drywall
wow they missed it on the first corner assembly
oooooops my bad must have blinked
"it" = ?
I could be wrong but wouldn't using 1 4x4 be better than 2 2x4s to connect the SIP panels?
What is the dimension of two 2x4s? Is it greater than 1 4X4?
How much off gassing coming from that structure, especially if it’s OSB?
Ambrose Leahy No off gassing, base on 3rd party testing. They use the same glue as Glum Beams. No off gassing from GLB
do you sell the panels, I have done a few sip buildings and am looking to do a 3rd.
