Insulated Component Structures of Florida, Inc.

The ICS Solution to the four major building needs.

Time is money. In the listed structures, you or your

contractor will receive significant savings in your labor

costs. As an example, the walls for this

1,800-square-foot commercial building were set in place and ready for the roof in 4 1/2 hours.

Several local contractors have teamed up with Insulated Component Structures of FL, Inc. in

building affordable housing and other projects using Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs). These SIPs have a variety of wall surfaces to choose from, including: OSBV, Fiberock, FRP, or metal. Sandwiched between these wall surfaces is a polyurethane foam core when pressed together within the wall panels form a structural I-Beam, wherein the outer skins become the flanges of the beam and the polyurethane core becomes the web of the beam.

BENEFITS FOR CONTRACTORS

Speed of Construction. You can order the panels with all pre-cutting performed in a factory. They show up on the jobsite all pre-numbered, ready for assembly corresponding to numbers laid out on a set of shop drawings. On most jobs you should be out of the weather and dried-in in a matter of hours not weeks. This means you pay less interest on your construction loan. You complete a job faster. Which means you can do more jobs.

Lower Labor Costs. A crew can consist of one lead framer assisted by minimally skilled helpers to erect the walls. Whenever a job requires lifting panels up to a roof, it helps to have two people familiar with panels: one on the roof and one on the ground. It may be helpful to have the assistance of a mechanical device when placing roof panels.

Less Jobsite Waste. If you've ordered a set of panels with all rough openings for windows and doors pre-cut at the factory, the only true waste you'll have is taking a few cases of empty tubes of caulk containers to the dump. The ICS factory efficiently collects and recycles the cut-outs more effectively than you can at the jobsite.

Less Theft. While 2 x 4s and 2 x 6s are prone to "walking off" unsecured job sites, panels are to specific to the site's building system to be worth hauling off somewhere else. A typical one-story house can be dried-in and secured in one day.

Cost Competitive. If at the design stage you optimize a structure to use panels, the most experienced SIP builders then say a house framed with SIPs should costs about the same as a house framed with comparably sized dimensional lumber, labor, insulation and maybe even a little less. The efficiencies of ICS-SIPs become more evident with time. Not having job site waste, for instance, saves in landfill fees. These, along with labor savings, faster dry-in time, better drywall utilization and a host of other real monetary savings are realized when you choose ICS-SIPs.

Easier to Hang Drywall. There is solid backing for all drywall against exterior walls, which means there is less cutting, faster attachment and less waste material.
