Normanton-based SIP Build UK has been announced as the winner of the inaugural Making Better Homes Award in the Best Building Fabric category. The awards, run by national builders' merchant Jewson, recognise tradespeople creating energy-efficient, safe, and comfortable homes across the UK.


SIP Build UK was selected from a shortlist of finalists after demonstrating their impressive commitment to sustainability. They were tasked with creating a highly insulated and airtight envelope using Structurally Insulated Panels (SIPs) for a customer's home in Colchester. The panels minimise heat transfer and energy loss through walls, providing excellent thermal performance.

Ian Still, SIP Build UK National Sales Director said:

"It's fantastic to win Jewson's Building Better Homes Award. Working closely with the homeowner from the start helped ensure this dream Passive Haus Certified SIP home was a success. Seeing the family now enjoying the benefits of their thermally efficient SIPs home makes this project even more special."

"We are immensely proud of this project, as it shows the perfect balance between energy efficiency and aesthetics. We entered the awards to showcase our dedication to quality, efficiency and sustainability in construction. This award is not just an achievement, but a responsibility to keep providing excellent sustainable solutions."

The judging panel included industry leaders impressed by the project's use of modern methods and fabric-first approach. Judge Matthew Handley said: "This high energy efficiency build is a great example of how SIPs can add value. The fabric-first method and renewables have delivered a wonderful living space."

SIP Build UK remains committed to sustainable construction that exceeds expectations while reducing environmental impact. This national award recognises their leadership and innovation in creating better homes.
