SIPs, or Structural Insulated Panels, are high-performance building panels used for walls, roofs, and floors. They consist of a solid insulation core sandwiched between two layers of engineered board. The result is a strong, airtight, and energy-efficient building system that outperforms traditional timber frame methods in terms of speed, thermal performance, and structural integrity.

While SIPs can have a higher upfront material cost than basic timber framing, they often result in significant savings over the life of the project. Faster build times, reduced labour costs, and superior insulation performance all contribute to better value. SIPs also minimise waste and deliver a more predictable, streamlined construction process.

Yes. JBR Buildings provides a complete design, manufacture, and installation service. We can handle everything from initial 3D models and working drawings to panel fabrication and on-site assembly. Whether you’re starting from scratch or already working with an architect, we tailor our services to suit your needs.

Absolutely. We regularly collaborate with architects, main contractors, and self-builders. Our team can provide SIP-specific guidance, structural drawings, and installation scheduling to ensure a seamless integration with your existing project team.

Build times vary depending on the scale and complexity of the project. However, thanks to the speed and precision of SIP construction, most structures can be weather-tight within a matter of days once on-site. For example, a single-storey home shell can typically be assembled in 1–2 weeks, depending on site access and crane use for larger panels.

We design and construct a wide range of buildings, including new homes, commercial units, workshops, agricultural buildings, and bespoke timber structures. Whether it’s a one-off house or a large-scale development, we approach every project with the same level of care, expertise, and attention to detail.

Yes. All our SIP structures are designed to meet or exceed UK building regulations. This includes compliance with thermal performance (Part L), structural safety (Part A), fire resistance (Part B), and airtightness. We work closely with engineers and building control to ensure all requirements are fully met.

Yes. As part of our design service, we can supply foundation plans, full working drawings, and coordinate structural engineering where needed. This ensures your build is fully specified, compliant, and ready for approval before any work begins on-site.

It’s simple — just get in touch via our contact form, email, or give us a call. We’ll start with a conversation about your project ideas, plans, and budget. From there, we can create a tailored quote based on your requirements and take you through the next steps, from design to delivery.
