Premier Building Systems is North America’s largest SIP producer. The company’s panels have been used in numerous traditional and cutting-edge architectural designs for homes, multi-family residences, schools, medical facilities, and a host of other commercial and institutional buildings.

Premier SIPs are strong, straight, and predictable for wall, roof, and floor construction. The large-section panels install fast, helping reduce building cycle time and job site labor. They provide superior insulating values and a tight building envelope to help reduce heating and cooling energy use up to 60 percent and help reduce job site waste up to two-thirds. They can also help contribute toward points in leading green building programs, including up to 46 points in LEED® for Homes and up to 39 points in LEED® for New Construction.

“We’ve worked hard to show that SIPs are the construction method of the future, especially regarding energy efficiency,” says James Hodgson, General Manager, Premier Building Systems. “This honor is a nice validation of our team’s work with architects, contractors, and code officials. We’re grateful for their recognition and support.”
