A modern alternative to traditional timber-framed construction, SIPS function as the structural element for walls, roofs, and suspended floors. At SHELL Building Systems, our approach is to inform and provide owners, designers, and construction teams with sustainable solutions customized for each building structure. We aim to reduce the total cost of construction by applying smart return on investment, decreasing life cycle costs, and increasing profitability. Our solutions optimally exceed CalGreen building codes and Title 24 regulations, and significantly contribute to ‘Net Zero Energy’ consumption. SIPS are greatly advantageous for their properties including
Contemporary building solutions for fit-for-purpose commercial properties that require reduced construction time and are cost-friendly, energy-efficient, and durable.
Learn MoreInnovative home solutions where comfort, health, and energy conservation converge and result in suitable houses that stand stronger, straighter, and greener.

For more than 40 years, SHELL Building Systems has provided SIPs design, engineering, fabrication, distribution, training and installation for high-performance residential and commercial properties all across the world. From the freezing winters of Far East Russia, the sweltering summers of Florida to ocean-front California, SIPs have withstood changing weather conditions and proven to be energy efficient and structurally superior.
SHELL Building Systems has successfully installed SIPs solutions for single-family homes, ADUs and multi-family structures including townhomes, duplexes, condominiums, large-scale apartment buildings and student housing.

From there, there is a micro-zoning high-efficiency HVAC system with heat pump, all LED high-efficiency lighting when needed the natural day variety is emphasized as much as possible high efficiency glazed windows, and video monitoring in common areas throughout the all-electric home.
