John Noblit and Rick Didier of Noblit Didier have devoted their talents to commercial and residential projects throughout the Kansas City and surrounding region, handling more than 70 custom homes and 100 remodeling projects, including high profile restaurant remodels and ongoing maintenance for a national restaurant chain.  The company recently became the distributor for Structural Integrated Panels (SIP Panels) in our area and is using the product to build several area homes.  Last week, it only took one working day to put up a home at 8402 Mercier.  Noblit Didier is offering SIPs to home and business owners and is receiving overwhelming response.  SIPs are rigid foam sandwiched between factory-bonded plywood that offer myriad of “green” benefits, in addition to other health and cost advantages. “SIPs have tremendous advantages in terms of energy performance,” Noblit said. “They create a tight, well-insulated building shell that doesn’t have the air-flow leakage that results from wood studs in conventional construction — and they do this with efficient use of resources.”   Below, Noblit works with a panel.

Below, the house takes shape. Noblit told guests that SIPs panels are pre-cut and pre-drilled for electric and plumbing, which saves building time and cost.  The pre-cut panels can be ordered for an entire home or building, or they can be cut on-site to create door and window openings.  To install, workers simply tilt up the wall panels and join connectors called “splines” to lock adjoining panels together – a process that is three-times faster than the a stud-frame approach.  For more information about Noblit Didier, please visit noblitdidier.com.
