With todays CSCS cards and all the health and safety that goes with them two days more like and the need for scaffolding to do anything on the roof here in dear old England. Love the comments for its uses, and if you have a door at each end you have a shotgun shack very usefull for the mother in law, but my mother in law is lovely. David.
Any safety measures which are in place for the use of ladders is deserved. If it was me, I was ban them permanently. There are plenty other means of alternative access instead of using ladders, which kill hundreds of people globally each year. In this occasion, I would have assembled a light frame zip up aluminium tower for the guys to use. Cheap to hire and great to work from.
That's a nice building. I'm curious as to the exact size of the structure and the cost, not including the labor. It doesn't look like I'll ever find out though. It seems you never post answers to people's questions.
I have also posted about building with SIPS. In my opinion the best way is to reinforce the basic SIP structure with steel posts. I posted a video or two showing how that is done. (I do not sell nor represent SIPS, I just took the video.) :-D
Maybe the speed-up was too fast, but I didn't see the workers installing continuous bead insulation between the joints. Anyone see how they insulated the joints?
Along with all of the dialog about everything it is.... It probably can float? All that Foam and coming from storm effected Long Island having a Raft the size of a Wall could be the ticket!
I would think that the roof should be completed both side at a time working from back to front, doing it as they have they would have put uneven stresses on the building frame.
Also whoever allowed those men to work on that roof without safety precautions (falling from height) would be committing a criminal offence under UK law.
everthink was precut precut insulate and had like 8 guys or more working and have heavy equipement to so yeah it can be done in a single day try that with normal stuff not precut not preinsulted and equipement
I've heard there have been problems with SIPS boards separating due to moisture and the structure becoming unsafe. There is a company in Florida that has SIPS pannels that use steel instead of OSB. While more expensive, these structures are incredibly strong, rot and mold proof, can't be water damaged, and will not burn.
Two top plates are installed in the downstairs SIP panels. The joist hangers are a Simpson StrongTie product. They are a hanger strap, nailing into the top plates.
Safety First. It's not an idle phrase. It's not an after-thought. Construction sites are much more dangerous than they should be. Every part of construction should be thought about, analyzed, planned for efficiency and safety. The old ways, the "traditional" ways have killed and injured too many people. SIPS are a relatively new construction innovation. Putting them together should be just as carefully organized.
It looks massively labour intensive and appears to require a lot of plant. Which nicely illustrates that SIPS is not economic for small projects of this scale.

so many expert comments............great video thanks!
Great job, got me thinking

Willing to try this!

Very nice dude. It's Ideal in the Philippine setting. But it should survive from flooding, typhoon and earthquake.

Watch the light shadows. Seems to work out.

A few time in the video I saw someone stand on the part of the [short green step] ladder that says "Danger: This Is Not A Step!"
+Kauwhaka get out of here safety sally
About how much does a box like this run? If the perimeter foundation is in what does a box like the go for in 2019 ?

Wow...

don't worry we got more than enough know how white men to do the job ..
nanny state ie UK criminalize all work decades ago
The police in the UK spend more time scrolling thru Social media looking for hate speech than looking for real criminals
From your picture at first glance i thought it was a a wooden tool box.
interesante
I can't believe they're so expensive.
everthink was precut precut insulate and had like 8 guys or more working and have heavy equipement to so yeah it can be done in a single day try that with normal stuff not precut not preinsulted and equipement
What happens if someone falls off the edge?
I dont think this can withstand btwn 120-200 wind speed without reinforcing

I am a big fan of SIPs and I know there benefits etc, however I do not believe from watching that video that it took a day
What is the cost per square foot.
MAYBE THEY SHOULD SHOW THAT THEY BRACED THE GABLE WALLS ON THE INSIDE.
OR DID THEY, BEFORE THEY LEANED A LADDER AGAINST IT?
chippa!
I know this is an old video, but I'm curious what the dimensions of that building were?
16 x 24
Could SIP's be used in an underground home construction situation?
Can anyone see how those joists are fixed? Thanks
Two top plates are installed in the downstairs SIP panels. The joist hangers are a Simpson StrongTie product. They are a hanger strap, nailing into the top plates.
Why did they put it up in a parking lot ? To be taken down and ruined in the process.
It would be great if you would re-make the video to show the work completed without all the OSHA violations.
Nobody died in the making of this video -
It looks like you're out of business. Sorry to hear that. Did dkerris ever get an answer to the underground construction question?
***** Oooh. Ouch. Sounds like a good thing that they're out of business. Thanks for the response.
No plumbing, electric, ductwork, doors, windows......, not a living structure. To make it habitable, triple the price.

Go to your safe space--walk don't run
Took all day to do that? I've seen 4 man crews stick frame a 4 bedroom 3 bath 2 story house and shingle it in a day.
They have violated every safety rule there is! Where is OSHA?!

Sir, I am a veteran of the building idustry, going on 41 years now. I can assure you, these are much less labor intensive that conventional framing.
No helmets.
ThermaShell's system is FAR superior to SIPs. Not even a comparison.
This is typical dog house what is your point
