Next up, the rules of the carbon price game | The Australian:

"The percentage of new homes built with double brick walls is fast shrinking and the likes of AV Jennings Contract Builder, wholly owned by Sekisui of Japan, is fast-forwarding the demise.

Prefabricated houses with synthetic panels will hasten the demise of brick housing."

Temporary housing a key issue as Slave Lake residents return

Temporary housing a key issue as Slave Lake residents return:

 "Officials estimate two-thirds of the town residents are now back in Slave Lake, many staying with friends, in college dorms or in trailers as they wait for new houses.

Some are worried that could be a long time.

Evacuee Val Love went shopping for a prefabricated house while she and her husband Bill were still in Edmonton. They were told the quickest turnaround was eight months.

“And we went to four different places,” she said, standing outside the Big Fish Bay office after booking a spot Sunday evening."

Structural Insulated Panel (SIP) — What is it?




The concept of Structural Insulated Panels is not new. Beginning in the USA in the 40’s and originally using paper fibre as the core material, many fine houses were constructed and are still providing good service today. With the development of permanent structural foam core and modern adhesives, today's SIP provides great strength and excellent thermal properties combined with ultra flat, accurate level surfaces inside and out. The external and internal cladding material is available in a full range of finishes. This ensures your Living Designs home will be anything but ordinary.
However, the real benefits for SIP comes alive when it is used in conjunction with our Beams Frames and Trusses. Lightweight and exceptionally strong they provide a fully sealed, weatherproof wall and roof home that is simply unsurpassed for strength, durability, fit and finish.
