SIP's have some advantages over traditional construction and timber frame - any method of construction can be detailed and built well or badly - if you understand the limitations and opportunities each present it makes the selection easier but ruling out any construction method because of a 30+ year old "scandal" seems a bit ott...
Incidentally when I worked in Canada we were doing 5 storey developments in timber frame without issue.
Op, when I've used SIP's in the past its always been with a decent set of drawings rather than letting a company dictate the design... If you want any details of the companies I've used I can send them by pm
Yes please could you send me those details over. Thank u.2016 was both financially and emotionally. 2017 will be our year.0
