This is a SIP extension created in Cambridge with permitted development.It created an extension to the kitchen and living room to give a contemporary feel and bring the property up to date.

We have been using SIP as a building system for a number of years and the benefits are fantastic.

The shell is constructed off site so as soon as the foundations are in it gives a speedy build to get weather tight very quickly.In turn it enables works to be completed internally straight away with less water thus drying out of the building is very short.

A number of people are adopting this approach now as the potential is great.
