Whether you’re building your dream home or delivering a high-spec residential project, every detail matters. Choosing Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) can be a game-changer — cutting build times, boosting energy performance, and reducing on-site risk.

At SIP Build UK, we’ve partnered with hundreds of self-builders and developers to deliver better outcomes with SIPs. Here’s what we’ve learned:
