SIP Project Process
From Vision to Installation:
The Enercept SIP Project Process
Planning is one of the most important parts of any building project. That’s why Enercept’s SIP project process is designed to be simple, collaborative, and highly customized — so you can move from idea to installation with confidence.
Whether you're building a home, commercial facility, or agricultural structure, our step-by-step approach ensures your Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) are precisely designed, carefully manufactured, and delivered ready to perform.
Step One
Request a Free Project Estimate
Start by sharing your building plans with your Enercept dealer or Regional Sales Manager (RSM). Our team will:
- Review your drawings
- Provide a customized SIP estimate
- Send the estimate to you via email
This estimate outlines the materials, scope, and projected cost of your SIP package. Your RSM will remain your main point of contact throughout the early stages.
Step Two:
Make an Initial Down Payment
Once you're satisfied with the estimate, you'll submit a down payment to move your project forward. This includes:
- A deposit toward SIP layout and drafting
- You will be assigned a Project Manager to continue with the building process.
All payments will be applied to your final invoice. Payments can be made by check or credit card. At this stage, your Enercept SIP layout approval drawing process officially begins.
Step Three:
SIP Layout Approval Drawings
Your project is now assigned to a dedicated Enercept drafter, who will:
- Translate your construction drawings into a SIP layout
- Account for all wall, roof, and floor panel requirements
- Design around unique shapes, irregular openings, and custom specs
You’ll receive your SIP layout drawings for review and approval. Communicate any changes directly with your drafter. Once approved, return the signed and dated documents to keep your project moving forward.
Step Four:
Final Proposal and Payment
Based on your approved drawings, you’ll receive a final proposal and builder acknowledgment form. This step includes:
- Final project pricing
- Required production down payment
- Your selected final payment method
Once signed and returned with payment, your project is ready to enter the production schedule. Any post-approval changes will require a change order and may affect the cost or timeline.
Step Five:
Production and Delivery
With all approvals and payments in place, your custom SIP package enters production. The Enercept team will:
- Add your project to the production schedule
- Keep you informed of progress and delivery timing
- Generate and send your final invoice
- Schedule shipment to your job site
Our panels arrive precut, pre-framed, and ready to install — helping you enclose your structure faster and with fewer labor hours.
Step Six:
Follow-Up and Warranty
After delivery, you’ll receive:
- A warranty registration form
- A customer survey to share your feedback
We’re committed to continuous improvement and value your input to help us keep delivering the best SIP systems in the industry.
