The Ten Step SIP Build Process

If you require planning permission, Build It Green can offer a
'Free Initial Consultation' to discuss your project ideas and the
planning and architectural services we can provide.

If you have already obtained planning permission, please send
your drawings to us either by post or email, or through our website
Request Estimate page. These should include scaled or dimensioned
via the plans, elevations and sections.
Electronic files can be sent in either DWG, DXF or PDF formats.

We confirm receipt of your drawings and allocate you a project
number. We then issue an estimate to you normally within 2 weeks.

A written order and deposit payment will then be required for the
SIP Building System and any other Associated Products &
Services in accordance with our Standard Terms of Agreement.

A written order and deposit payment will then be required
for the full turnkey building solution in accordance
with our Standard Terms of Agreement.

Your architect issues Build It Green with dimensioned
construction drawings in a DWG or DXF CAD format.
These drawings need to be detailed for SIP construction and
should include plans, elevations, sections and a window
& door schedule.

Please click here to see an example of the standard
of drawing detail we require for our SIP design.

These drawings need to be full working drawings and should
include plans, elevations, sections, window & door schedule
and detailed finish schedules.

Build It Green will supply all the drawings and information above
if contracted to do so.

A copy of our structural design, calculations and foundation loads
will be issued and should be forwarded to your building control
office and/or your warranty provider.

Should Build It Green be responsible for the ground works, we will
also include the foundation design.

A copy of our sub structure and super structure structural designs
and calculations will be issued to the relevant building
control office and warranty provider.

We prepare and issue SIP building system approval drawings
in accordance to the Architects design for signing by the
client / Architect.

We prepare and issue approval drawings in accordance to the
Architects design and building reg drawings for approval and signing
by the client / Architect. Build It Green will supply a full building
reg drawings package if contracted to do so.

A construction start date is allocated. The lead time from
production to allocated start date for the SIP Building System is
typically four to six weeks from receipt of signed approval drawings.

A detailed construction programme including design, ordering,
on-site works and stage payment dates will be provided.

We will manufacture and deliver the SIP Building System and any
other Associated Products & Services to site ready to be
installed by Build It Green or your chosen contractor.

Build It Green will make periodic checks on your project during
the construction process.

Work on site commences with the ground works and continues
through to completion as per the build programme. A final handover
& sign off takes place after Build It Green have completed all works.
