Well I've been banging my head against building a double brick home in WA for ages. I've done the earth works myself saving $$$ however knowing it is m class soil etc wanted a light frame building, insulate the hell out of it and use 6 3/8 glass to help accustics etc. We live on a flight path and have had cheap quote to double glaze of Canon double glazing in Perth. $16000 for a 4x2 250sqm. Opted for the thicker glass option as its A cheaper. Ventura homes have offered to build Brick veneer for the same price and will insulate all internal and external walls, so we'll sign this week. Just got to make sure the articulation joints etc are correct as you stated in one of your previous post. Love your work. I will get an independent to check the build also as a lot on here have suggested. In Perth it appears some people want double brick and it's a better resale etc however I just want the best suited home for the site that is cost effective to heat and cool, if that makes sense Re: SIP PANEL BUILDING 7Feb 28, 2019 11:21 am Hi Kev 1 Thanks Sounds like you are out Guildford Way? Resale is the Killer Tho not when they weigh up alternative and potential issues Heads up...Steer clear of SIP Panels As these materials are bound to impact on future resale Value due to Lacrosse & Neo200 fires also discussed here Use of Structural Insulated Panels If you need Standard Articulation Joint (AJ) details leave a PM Cheers Chris Designer,Engineer (Civil,Const & Envir),Builder,Concrete & Masonry Contract.Struct Repairs Re: SIP PANEL BUILDING 8Feb 28, 2019 11:47 am The bugger is, too, that it's not the insulation product that is specified that is so vital, but how and with what care all is installed. It's not just insulation product but air and vapour movements inside the building cavities that have to be understood and managed. The Europeans really understand this, now - as building clients, as builders, and as certifying authorities. Best of luck with that in Oz as young Jane, that lovely international student studying hospitality at the Upstairs University while sustaining themselves on $12 ph with the builder you chose, happily bungs the batts into the structure. Oh, and don't use SIP in Oz, you're going to have to sell the place one day. Re: SIP PANEL BUILDING 9Feb 28, 2019 9:51 pm StructuralBIMGuy Hi Kev 1 Thanks Sounds like you are out Guildford Way?

I slope back from the road with no shire mains to tap into therefore have to try and see how to retain the storm on an m class clay site, plus not enough room for big water tanks. In the past I recall someone mentioning a detention system. I'll have to look into this further I guess Re: SIP PANEL BUILDING 11Mar 01, 2019 1:04 am Hahaha, not quite. Hence this forum for people who would like advise on these matters of interest from people who have experienced it, or know ways around it. I'm from the uk, worked on building sites most my life and am learning slowly lol. I was one of the team on site who installed the pipe work for storm water and sewer connections. Everything was piped to the mains. We layed the road kerbs for flow to the drains....retaining storm water was never an option. Double, triple glazing is as cheap as chips. The brickies layed bricks to the damp course and we screeded off that level etc etc The U.K. Could learn a lot from the methods in Aus and visa versa I reckon.

Has anyone built with SIP Panels in Perth WA or on m class soil Talk to your Engineer, Steer well clear from PE Cladding Australian homes covered in combustible cladding but few residents can afford to fix them structuralBIMGuy PE Cladding and SIPs are 2 very different materials.
