If you are needing design & drafting assistance one of our drafting dept can assist you with getting your building plans (Foot Print, Elevations, Sections) into a CAD file. Preliminary and concept drawings for your project can be daunting especially if you don't yet have an architect or want to pay expensive architect rates. InsulBuild can assist you with your drawing layout to get the ball rolling for your project. Many building departments today require seeing permit ready plans that meet the local code requirements for your project we highly recommend you to utilize an architect and an engineer(design professionals) to assist you so your plans will be ready for the permitting process. Once you approve these conceptual drawings we can then supply your architect and structural engineer with a CAD .dwg file or .pdf that they may use to begin creating your permit ready plans.
Once your architect and engineer has completed your permit plans we can create your sip layout drawings that will be submited to the sip manufacturer of your choice.
Design reviews to utilize SIP's for your project may be required to assit in panel design options or specify roof support locations based on the structural and engineering needs of your project. Your structural engineer or architect can size the beam(s) required to meet your local building code.
For custom designed homes or if you already have a set of plans purchased or drawn up, we can have one of our experienced designeers work with you, your architect and engineer(design professionals) to assist in how to make your plans utilize sips. We can assist in reviewing sip testing tables and details to determin panel thickness, r-value and spans of panels that will meet your local building code requirements.
If you already have a set of plans purchased or drawn up Its common for us to convert a set of stick frame plans to utilize sips for your sip layout drawings..
SIP Layout drawings (Shop drawings) for your SIP's installation, our experienced designers will use your submited architectual and site specific engineered plans to create a detailed set of SIPs layout drawings and assembly details.
These drawings are extreamly critical not only for the fabrication process of your SIPs but to you and your builder, architect or engineer of record.
It is your responsibility to review these SIPs Layout Drawings for accuracy and approve them. We strongly encourage you to utilize a lead design professional, either an architect or experienced builder, while reviewing your drawings to ensure their accuracy.
You have the option to have an experienced technician on-site to consult you and your crew with the installation of your SIPs. With minimal training, one day in most cases, your crew will be ready to proceed. Or, choose to have an advisor with you throughout the entire panel installation.
