    Anyone have experience using SCIP panels?

    SCIP experience?  That's a structural concrete insulated panel.  They are large foam panels with wire truss inside and mesh on outside to accept spray concrete.

    Potential client wants to use on his house, says he can do work himself and save $$$.

    I have familiarity with ICF and its downsides.  Wondering what downsides and hidden costs might be for SCIP.

    Thanks,

    Jay

    I am building with this myself currently on my own house . . .

    a handy diy-er could do it as well

    where are you located project wise?

    just the opposite of ICF's / not as much structural design data available

    save money as compared to what?
