SIPS build time lapse

Wow, That's a great video. I will always cheer for you in Korea I'm looking forward to a great video. Have a nice day.

I've never seen a SIPs system go up this slow. What panels were you using?

[@bajacaliforniarealestate1455]

We used our own SIPs made with Fiber Cement Board panels, 6 men, 8 days, no crane or scaffolding. Most consider this a fast build.

[@driverjamescopeland]

@bajacaliforniarealestate1455 - absolutely... for FRC panels and very little support equipment, that's quick. What's the finished density of your panels?

[@eauclaire07]

It seems all the windows are at one end of the house. Will it not make it rather dark inside?

[@bajacaliforniarealestate1455]

Hi Claire, no it's a very bright house except for the back guest bedroom, I should have put a larger window in that room. I'm thinking of changing it. It is a comfortable beautiful home with a multi-million dollar view!

[@viralvideostrending5782]

awesome, what was the foundation made off. i see it had just a few rows of joist.

[@bajacaliforniarealestate1455]

Yes, it's built on concrete pier and post foundation.

[@javirodri2390]

Hi, I loved the video. I've been planning to build a house in mgo sip for a while. I just have a question about the video. In the largest room that can be seen, the living room will be the safest, it can be seen that they put some metal beams to support the ceiling. That is true?. Could you tell me what kind of beam they are? Thanks a lot. I love the video. Another video on plumbing and electricity on those houses would be interesting.

[@bajacaliforniarealestate1455]

Hi Javi, yes they used a steel beams. I don't have a video on the plumbing and electricity but the panels use a tool to carve out a conduit to input the wires. Thanks for commenting on the video. If you are planing a home using SIPs we sell the materials to build them in your location. We are not approved in every location so I'd need to know more about where you want to build if that is your goal. all the best. Diane

[@bajacaliforniarealestate1455]

HI Javi, yes we used steel beams. The house is very secure according to the engineer. All the best to you.

[@viralvideostrending5782]

what was used for the foundation. it looks like beams that fit the sip for the floor. is this correct?

[@user-ty2uz4gb7v]

Are your sip clad in some engineered material like Hardie board or is it wood? Otherwise why is it white?

[@bajacaliforniarealestate1455]

They are a proprietary blend of concrete fiber cement. They come white, but after we install them we plaster them in a special covering which we manufacture and then paint them if you want to. The video does not show that part. It only shows the installation. Where are you located? Hope this answer helps you.

[@chrisgeary4624]

What’s the skin on the SIP? Doesn’t look like standard OSB.

[@bajacaliforniarealestate1455]

Hi Chris, no we use a special formula of Concrete Fiber Cement Board. OSB has toxic glue and burns. So any fire zone location is advised not to use OSB. Our product is a proprietary formula and eco-friendly, fireproof, waterproof, termite proof etc. If you are in Mexico and need SIPs, I can provide them. If you are in the US or another county other than Latin America, I may be able to refer you to a good manufacturer, but most will use OSB, which is a shame. All the best to you.

[@bajacaliforniarealestate1455]

Hi Chris, we use concrete fiber cement board. OSB gives off a toxin from the glue, and it will burn. We wanted to be more eco-friendly. All the best.

[@parmoni]

looks like at the end you tarred the joints and placed some special kind of rolled up roofing underlayment? can you share what kind of tar and what kind of roofing underlayment?

[@DianeWebsterentrepreneur]

Sorry Chris, I just saw your question. Obviously I'm not a social media expert to say the least. I don't know the name of the product they used on the roof. I apologize.

[@timphillips8966]

It was a "modified bitumen torched down system." Great product, however, that install looks sketchy. They should have nailed down a "base sheet" before torching directly to the SIPS plywood!! Notice the "tarred joints" bled through the finished product. That's a BIG no no!! The system will likely fail in those areas pronto. I could be wrong and this could be some funky new "approved" install, but I'm pretty sure it isn't. Anyway, Hope that helps...

[@bajacaliforniarealestate1455]

@@timphillips8966 Hi Tim and Chis. our SIP panels are not made with plywood. We have no wood in the system at all, thus the fire-resistant claim. Our panels are made of a concrete fiber cement board with a specific formula. The roof has not failed in over a year, but I have had other mistakes that have been fixed as my original contractors used some crew members who were not trained in SIP building. The timelapse video however still shows how fast you can build a SIP home. I am happy to show the home to anyone who would like to see it. It is fabulous, warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Let me know if I can help you further. Sorry that I am not always on my channel and don't see messages. My bad!

[@timphillips8966]

​@@bajacaliforniarealestate1455 Interesting to hear this SIP system uses concrete fiber cement board. Sounds like something similar to what's found in showers prior to tiling? Also sounds much heavier than plywood? Doesn't really matter as a typical SIP install uses an on site crane to drop the panels in place, although these panels seem to be pretty light (they don't appear to be struggling to lift them). I'm a fan of these systems. As far as the roof membrane install, I'd be surprised if the manufacturer would approve that install. Typically, going over a concrete surface you'd spray an asphalt primer & allow to dry before torching the membrane down. In this case I would've used an aluminum tape on all the joints (same stuff used to seal metal gas water heater pipe vents), then prime the entire surface, let dry, then torch membrane down. I was a roofing contractor in So Cal for 25 years (retired now) and used that product on commercial, residential, and industrial projects. VERY familiar with it.

[@christopherpalmer4243]

How long were the roof panels?

[@bajacaliforniarealestate1455]

Actually I can't remember. But the house is 40' x 30' with an additional 10' decl. If you look at the roof again you may be able to figure how big the roof panels are. Sorry, I don't remember this info.
