Timber Frame and SIPs: A Resilient Solution for Rebuilding After Wildfires and Natural Disasters

What It's About

In the wake of wildfires and natural disasters, rebuilding with durability, efficiency, and speed is essential. This presentation explores how combining timber framing and structural insulated panels (SIPs) creates a resilient, high-performance building system ideal for disaster recovery. Timber frame construction provides structural strength and timeless craftsmanship, while SIPs offer exceptional energy efficiency and rapid enclosure, reducing build times and long-term heating and cooling costs. Attendees will gain insight into how these systems integrate seamlessly into architectural plans, ensuring both design flexibility and code compliance. Whether you're working with homeowners rebuilding after loss or planning resilient communities, this session will provide practical knowledge on why timber framing and SIPs are an optimal choice for strong, efficient, and beautiful homes.
