Before we began this adventure I did extensive Internet research looking for someone who has built a home like this before (using SIPs in a modular factory) because I wanted them to build one for us.  I had no luck.

When we started talking seriously with Penn Lyon and Murus about this project, they also did a great deal of their own research within their industries.  None of us came up with any information that showed it had been done before.  The closest we could find were companies that were calling their SIP panelized homes "modular," and the factory that makes them a "modular factory."  To the best of our knowledge, this is the very first house in the world built like this.

With that being said, we are willing to be wrong.  Two different people have told me this has been done before, but it wasn't their house and they could provide no details. If anyone can prove to us that this has been done before, we are willing to take 2nd place or higher.  With or without the title of 1st, this is still going to be one great house.
