Project Overview
San Juan SW Soil & Water Conservation Office Building
End Use: Office and rental space for San Juan Soil & Water Conservation District - Perform conservation training and education for land owners, State, County, Farmers, Ranchers, and Youth.
Why SIPs: Winters Construction was able to meet the clients needs and budget by changing the construction method from conventional framing to SIPS Panels as it cut the on-site labor for framing dramatically. We were able to cut the time frame from start of assembly to Dry-in by 5 weeks.
Benefits of SIPs:
- SIPS saved 5 weeks of on-site construction framing labor, which was able to get the project in budget.
- Interior drywall installation was more efficient which was a unforeseen savings.
- Structurally the Sips panels saved substantial time in cantilever framing.
- The building is sufficiently more energy efficient than conventional framing.
Innovative Design Elements: Our design had a open non supported corner window along with cantilever roofs that did not require any additional beams or framing structures.
HVAC: Forced Air RTU's
Energy-Saving Materials or Energy-Efficient Products Used:
- Installed continuous 1.5" EPS over Sips panels for exterior EFIS system R-value 3.6
- Used Low E glazing U-value 2.9
- Installed Liquid vapor Barrier
- Installed On Demand Hot Water Heater
- Installed LED Lighting with controls

Client Comment:
"This project was only able to be brought into budget through value engineering. The first 3/4 of the over run was easy to accomplish. The SIPS Panels were able to get us into budget."
