Project Overview
Evoke Quadrant Model Home
Quadrant Homes chose to move forward with a sustainable, luxury spec home. The Model home was built to showcase a future sustainable neighborhood.
Why SIPs?:
Premier SIPS were selected because they are sustainable building materials, and highly energy efficient with the end result of a high-performance structure. Builder is creating neighborhoods designed around the commitment to sustainability. The builder builds models homes with sustainable building products such as SIPs to showcase a sustainable
end result with lower operating costs... hoping to draw in potential homebuyers.
Benefits of SIPS:
The SIPs roof used on this model home helped the project achieve its goal of an energy-efficient and high-performing home. Quadrant wanted to display to buyers how beautiful green and sustainable living is attainable.
