Why This Project Matters
Westwood demonstrates our ability to handle complex SIP builds with:
- Tight access and difficult logistics
- Architect-led design collaboration
- Full-package delivery from structural frame to internal finish
- Expertise in delivering multi-use, high-performance spaces
Project Challenges
- Restricted Site Access: The remote, sloped site required careful delivery and handling of materials.
- Multiple Functions: The space needed to meet different usage requirements while maintaining energy efficiency.
- Weather Exposure: Elevated position with strong winds and harsh winter conditions required robust structural design and airtight construction.
- Sensitive Planning Area: Working within the aesthetic requirements of a National Park setting.
Our Solution
We delivered a full structural SIP package with full fit-out services:
- Structural Build:
- 142mm SIP external walls
- 172mm SIP roof panels
- Precision-engineered SIP structure for rapid on-site assembly
- Internal Fit-Out:
- Timber frame internal partitions
- First-fix electrical installation
- Plasterboard and full skim finish
- External Finishes:
- Timber cladding in line with planning requirements
- Complete roof installation and weatherproofing
- Airtight detailing throughout for long-term energy performance
Project Highlights
- Build Efficiency: SIPs allowed for fast, precision installation despite the difficult access conditions.
- Design Integrity: We worked closely with the architect to ensure all design details were delivered exactly to specification.
- Minimal Disruption: The streamlined build process reduced site time, material waste, and impact on the surrounding landscape.
- Energy Performance: The highly insulated SIP system ensures year-round comfort and low running costs.
