SIPS: Less Waste, Labor & Time

SIPS Roof Installation, Sewanee Inn & Conference Center

LESS WASTE, LABOR & TIME. Because SIPS are fabricated specifically for the job in the manufacturing facility and due to the repetitive/simple structure, there was very little waste (both physical & labor/time) associated with the roof structure of the Sewanee Inn and Conference Center project.

The Sewanee Inn and Conference Center project started out as a nail-base project.  As the project estimator and SIPS sales discussed options, the Bell & Associates project manager decided that utilizing SIPS would save on labor for the project due to the expanse of roofing needed to be installed.
