Good material but cost justification for sip walls don’t align with my experience trying to sell them to clients.

Good course.

Eric

A very helpful review.

Mary

Very surprising statistics. I could have used more time to process them during the presentation. I also would have like to hear what the SIP ridge detail is to prevent moisture damage. This is concerning to me so I will need more info before I spec SIPs

Jon

---

Great topic, but FYI: the wording on the quiz questions was difficult to follow.

Jonathan

---

Some of his Weather data seemed to be screwed. No account for increased population covering more land area and material and labor cost.

Excellent content. Easy to understand and informative.

Henry

My thesis in architecture school was about prefabricated construction and getting architects more involved with the design so I loved the seminar but would have like to see more examples of design innovations possible with panelized construction.

Extremely informative in understanding the value provided by SIP construction above what may be self-evident.

Luis

Very interesting comparisons to time and costs.

Thank You.

Very informative and innovative

Clay

Interesting course. Very good statistics and it gives good reasons for looking at the overall picture and not just the initial cost of better construction.

Gary

---

Good conclusions backed by measurable evidence

Logan

---

I did not feel like this presentation fully covered the questions asked in the quiz.

Sydney

---

Great overview for someone not familiar with the concept of SIPS.

Interesting stuff.

Shane

Thank you

Trevor

The training was interesting but would benefit from more explanation on how the pre-fabricated panels address climate change challenges. There seems to be a disconnect between the issues (e.g., storms, and wildfires) and the proposed solution. I would have liked to hear more about how these panels help mitigate damage from extreme weather events like storms and wildfires, or how they can contribute to overall climate resilience. Thank you,

Marie-Christine

Mark

Nice overview to SIP's

Knight

The information was informative and current. It gave me options to consider when designing a new house.

Edward

---

After watching, it's surprising that SIPs are not used more frequently in the US. Wonder what the hurdles are in the US??

I enjoyed the short and complete course. It was very well presented with great slides.

Covers ideas about archaic construction materials and techniques that I have considered for a good many years. Not sure how we change it.

Fred

---

Was difficult to follow. He was too quick to jump from one slide to another.

Jeffrey

---

Pretty good presentation. This doesn't take into account several real world considerations and requires conforming to restrictions to get the best value. It absolutely has a market and it could be on the verge of really taking off.

Very interesting.

I'm curious as to why SIPs has not been adopted by more people. It has been around for a long time and widely known about. I wonder what is not being presented is the reason. Interesting topic.

Great information was provided by Mr. Rashkin. Cost comparisons between SIPs and Framed Construction was valuable and surprising.

Michael

---

logical and practical

Scott

---

This seminar did not account for the costs to cut window and door opening into the panels, place MEP systems in the walls or in some other hidden manner, framing out for door, window, etc. openings, installation of columns into the wall panels to carry heavy point loads to open up larger spaces, etc. etc. Costs of waster materials at windows and doors, etc.
