SIP Collection
Little Twig 480 SIP
One level, metal roof and siding, and R-40 overhead. The 480 plan in panels.
Base kit price. Freight and sales tax depend on where your land is, so every order starts with a written proposal that includes both.
The same one-level plan as the 480 Cedar Log, built from structural insulated panels: a foam core bonded between two skins, cut and numbered at the mill.
A bedroom with a walk-in closet, a full bath, laundry, and an open kitchen and living room under a ceiling vaulted to the ridge. R-26 in the walls, R-40 over your head.
No loft and no stairs to build. Metal roof, siding and trim come in the kit, with stamped drawings for most areas.

Construction
How it’s built.
A structural insulated panel arrives as a finished wall: rigid foam bonded between two structural skins, pre-cut and numbered to the drawings. There are no studs to insulate around, which is where the R-values come from, and why a SIP shell closes in faster than a stick frame.

The 480 is built for living on one level. The ceiling is vaulted to the ridge instead, so there’s nothing to climb and no stair to frame. It suits a backyard ADU, a guest house, or anyone who would rather not take stairs.
SIP for thermal performance and price: R-26 walls, R-40 roof, stamped drawings and the hardware kit included. Cedar log for the look and feel of solid wood. Both use the same 20′×24′ plan.
Yes, for most areas. Your local building department has the final say on what they’ll accept.
The standard kit is R-26 walls / R-40 roof. The Northern Version is R-29 walls / R-57 roof for heavier snow loads and colder winters.
