How SCIP Construction Works
Discover how our process turns innovation into strength, from design to completion.
What Is SCIP
SCIP stands for Structural Concrete Insulated Panel, a system made of a foam core between welded wire mesh and coated in high strength concrete.
It replaces wood framing to create walls, floors, and roofs that are strong, energy-efficient, and built to last.
SCIP structures resist fire, wind, water, pests, and extreme temperatures while keeping interiors quiet and comfortable. Read more on our blog.
Why Build with SCIP
SCIP combines concrete, insulation, and steel to create strong, efficient, and sustainable structures.
Resiliency
Fire-rated, hurricane and tornado resistant, earthquake safe, and built to handle impact and water.
Energy Efficiency
High insulation helps regulate temperature and cut energy costs by up to 45 percent.
Sustainability
Made with recycled steel and foam to reduce waste and carbon footprint.
Healthy Living
No wood, no mold, and no chemicals. Cleaner air and fewer pests.
Cost Savings
Lower energy bills, less maintenance, and long-term durability.
Insurance premiums up to 30% less
What Is SCIP
See how SCIP construction stacks up against wood framing. Stronger, safer, and more efficient from every angle.
Feature | Wood Framing | SCIP |
|---|---|---|
Strength | Prone to rot, warping, and pests | Reinforced concrete panels that resist hurricanes, impact, and decay |
Fire Resistance | Highly flammable and spreads fire quickly | Non-combustible materials prevent ignition and slow heat transfer |
Insulation | R13–R19 with air leaks between studs | Exceeds R30 with a continuous insulated core that reduces energy loss |
Maintenance | Requires regular pest control, painting, and repairs | Minimal upkeep with no rot, termites, or warping |
Durability | Weakens over time due to weather and moisture | Designed to last for generations with consistent performance |
Soundproofing | Limited noise reduction | High sound resistance for quieter interiors |
Environmental Impact | Uses lumber and creates more waste | Built with recyclable materials and less construction waste |
Cost Over Time | Lower upfront cost but higher maintenance | Higher upfront investment with long-term savings |
Build smarter, stronger, and more efficient with SCIP.
A Closer Look at SCIP
Step-by-Step Process
Our process ensures every SCIP structure is built with precision, quality, and efficiency from start to finish.
Design Collaboration
We coordinate with builders and architects to prepare plans for SCIP construction.
1
Panel Fabrication
Panels are custom-made to match project specifications.
2
On-Site Assembly
Panels are delivered, positioned, and joined to form the structure.
3
Concrete Application and Finishing
Concrete is applied to both sides, creating a solid shell ready for finishing.
4
Inspection and Turnover
Every structure is checked for quality and turned over ready for the next stage.
