  • Steel Frame & SIP Construction

    Engineered To Last

Building better, stronger, faster due to energy-efficient and environmentally friendly Steel Frame & Steel SIP.

Steel Framing and Structural Insulated Panels (SIP) are generally known and accepted as being more energy-efficient when compared to traditional stick-frame construction.  However, higher perceived cost has been a major deterrent for most builders and home owners.  At KHP Homes, we have spent the last decade refining our building process with Steel Frame and Steel SIP panels in mind. As a result, we are able to build Steel Frame and Steel SIP homes at prices that rival our competitors’ stick-framed houses. Best of all, our clients report significant savings on their homeowners insurance and monthly energy bills.
