(Good luck getting a large truck through.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our Plan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The project was split into phases, with Premier\u2019s pre-fabricated structural insulated panels (SIPs) arriving just in time for construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The first truck brought the front basement walls, enabling the contractor to finish the first floor above the basement.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Two weeks later, the second truck delivered the first story walls.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Before the third truck came with the second story walls, the contractor had time to frame the floor and begin plumbing work.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A fourth and final truck delivered the roof panels once the walls were in place.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The GBL Difference<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>By coordinating with the contractor and SIP manufacturer, GBL was able to facilitate the right materials to arrive at the right times to accommodate the lack of construction access and staging area. GBL also worked with the shipping department so that the driver was prepared to handle the access challenges, enabling smooth project execution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gblmaterials.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_9040.jpg\" alt=\"A view from the upper level of the house looking down at the truck with the SIPS roof panels. \" class=\"wp-image-234\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"235\" src=\"https:\/\/gblmaterials.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_9130.jpg\" alt=\"A SIP roof panel being prepared for installation.\" class=\"wp-image-235\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"227\" src=\"https:\/\/gblmaterials.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_9153.jpg\" alt=\"A SIP roof panel being maneuvered into position.\" class=\"wp-image-227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"231\" src=\"https:\/\/gblmaterials.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_9114.jpg\" alt=\"SIP roof panel being secured in place. \" class=\"wp-image-231\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"236\" src=\"https:\/\/gblmaterials.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_9267.jpg\" alt=\"Empty SIP delivery truck\" class=\"wp-image-236\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The just-in-time construction strategy was just right to deliver SIPS in stages to a project site with restrictive space constraints. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":240,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-226","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-projects"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gblmaterials.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/226","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gblmaterials.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gblmaterials.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gblmaterials.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gblmaterials.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=226"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/gblmaterials.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/226\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":241,"href":"https:\/\/gblmaterials.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/226\/revisions\/241"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gblmaterials.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/240"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gblmaterials.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=226"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gblmaterials.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=226"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gblmaterials.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=226"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
