DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING PROCESS
Structure Avantage's certified SIP construction system is manufactured under controlled and regulated factory conditions. The manufacturing process involves several steps and usually takes 4 to 8 weeks.
Design
Technical, assembly and manufacturing documentation is being prepared in the design phase. Structure Avantage uses state-of-the-art design technologies for the processing of technical and manufacturing plans that are also compatible with BIM (Building Information Modeling). This technology significantly reduces design and drafting time. In the design phase, the project documentation is communicated and approved. Our professional team of engineers is ready to provide any advice in the design process, the finalization of the project, as well as the structural evaluation of the buildings.
Optimization
After the realization of the design and the approval of the technical documents comes the optimization phase. Structure Avantage manufactures custom panels that are marked according to the project documentation. At this stage, the cut planes are optimized.
​
Our customers will therefore receive pre-prepared and marked panels without the need for further shaping. For this reason, the construction process is very fast, precise and customers do not produce construction waste from the panels.
Manufacturing
The manufacturing process takes place under controlled and strictly regulated factory conditions.
​
Factory conditions and machine technology ensure enormous speed, accuracy and efficiency in the manufacturing of the SIP building system. The sandwich panel is formed by gluing the insulating core between two 15 mm OSB TOP 4 panels. Then the panel hardens and matures in a hydraulic press. After hardening, the panels are formatted and marked. Once the contract is completed, the panels, as well as all the other materials necessary for the construction, are loaded onto trucks that will bring them to the site.
Assembly
We provide our customers with comprehensive technical support as well as educational service. For the construction of the SIP construction system, we offer certified training to construction companies and assembly groups throughout QUEBEC.
