Back to Business


The BuildFast website will be coming out of retirement. After a short hiatus with a new baby, house construction and a lot of reflection on the business I am reopening the BuildFast website and blog. I tried to take some time to step back and reevaluate the technology. How does it stack up to other technologies and is there a business supporting the SCIP technology?

First, Structural Concrete Insulated Panels (SCIP) are still a valid technology. There are challenges with adoption (tradesman, building inspectors) and you can always build a cheaper wooden shack or mud, but this is still one of the best technologies to build a disaster resistant, rot proof, highly insulated structure that can last decades without maintenance.

However the new site is going to be more focused on how to help individuals build their own houses and other structures with SCIP panels. We want to over techniques, advices, and the tools to make the job easy and successful. We look forward to being part of the change in better building in the US and beyond.
