SIP Panel Consulting — Residential • Commercial • Military • All 50 States

20 Years. $150 Million Built. The SIP Consultant
You Call First.

Before you talk to a manufacturer, talk to Darryl Simpson. One call determines whether your project gets the right panel — or the one the manufacturer had in stock.

Why Most SIP Projects Get It Wrong

What Happens When You Call the Manufacturer First

The manufacturer recommends their panel. It may be close. It may not be right. You have no independent reference point — and you won't know the difference until the energy bills arrive, the contractor quotes don't add up, or the inspector asks for stamped drawings no one planned for.

Wrong panel for your climate

EPS where polyurethane is needed — or polyurethane where EPS would have saved $30K. Climate zone specifications require independent expertise, not manufacturer defaults.

Over-specified and over-budget

Most residential SIP projects are over-specified by one thickness step. On a $200K panel budget, that's $16,000–$26,000 in unnecessary cost. Value engineering recovers it.

Unqualified contractor, invisible problems

Joint sealing deficiencies don't show up on inspection — they show up in energy bills and blower door tests years later. Contractor vetting before hire prevents the most expensive SIP mistake.

No engineering stamps for permit

Many jurisdictions require stamped engineering for SIP construction. Discovering this at permit submission — after the order is placed — creates delays that cost more than the consulting would have.

Darryl saved me from a costly mistake before I'd ordered a single panel. He spent an hour with me and completely changed my understanding of what my project actually needed. Worth every dollar.

We've been doing SIP subdivisions for six years and had never worked with a dedicated consultant. Darryl's value engineering saved us more than his fee in the first conversation alone. He's on our team now.

I needed engineering stamps in four states on a tight timeline. Darryl handled it efficiently and communicated clearly throughout. If you're working with SIPs professionally, this is who you call.

Industry Myths

Two Things Most People
Get Wrong About SIP Panels

Myth #1

"SIPs always cost more."

The Reality

Material cost is higher. Total project cost often isn't. Faster installation, less framing labor, superior energy performance over 30 years, and fewer callbacks. Look at the full picture — the math changes.

Myth #2

"Any panel works for any build."

The Reality

Panel type, core material, thickness, and manufacturer capability vary significantly by application, climate zone, and structural requirements. Selection is the decision — not an afterthought. Getting it wrong costs money.
