With our Structurally Insulated Panel (SIP) shells, you can build a home 50% faster&35% the cost to operate, while being storm resistant up to 180 mph winds
We lost our house to Hurricane Ian so we decided to build a hurricane-proof home after speaking with our neighbor who recommended Green Edge Homes.

We've had a Green Edge home for 10 years and we love it. It saves us money, keeps us cool in the hot Florida summers, and kept us safe during Hurricane Milton.

My 70 year old uncle and I built this Green Edge Homes ADU shell all on our own in two and a half weeks! We love the energy efficiency and safety features.
SIPs are high-performance building panels used for walls, floors, and roofs. They consist of an insulated foam core sandwiched between two structural facings. The structural facings are typically oriented strand board (OSB). Green Edge Homes SIPs consist of both ZIP board (a type of OSB) and Hardie board (cement board), depending on the application. This type of construction offers superior strength, energy efficiency, and durability.
What makes SIPs better than traditional construction methods?
SIPs offer faster construction times, reduced energy costs (up to 60%), improved durability, and environmental sustainability by minimizing construction waste.
How long does it take to build a SIP home?
Construction with SIPs is typically 50-60% faster than traditional methods. A 2,000 sq. ft. home can be assembled in 5-7 days, depending on complexity.
Do you offer installation services?
While we don’t have in-house global building crews, we can assist by recommending certified contractors for installation, or alternatively, provide instructional guidance if you choose to build yourself.
Do you provide financing options?
Yes, we work with several financing partners and programs, including VA loans, FHA loans, and USDA loans.
Are SIP homes resistant to extreme weather?
Yes, SIPs are designed to withstand high winds (up to 200 mph), making them ideal for hurricane-prone or high-wind areas. Due to the tight building envelope, they are also flood resistant up to a certain water level.
