Designing with Smart Panels
Below are the steps you and your architect can follow to design effectively for Smart Panel construction.
Do you need a designer for your build? Please refer to our recommended designers, engineers and builders, or contact us.
STEP 1
Get in Touch
Our Smart Panels team will take you through the details of the product range, providing handy hints for taking full advantage of the Smart Panels Building System.
The learning curve isn’t steep. It will generally take a single project to have a complete understanding of the entire Smart Building System.
STEP 2
Translate Your Plans into Panel-based Structures
Send us your home design ideas early on in the creative process.
We can offer practical feedback and discuss how the design will translate to Smart Panels—including engineering and energy efficiency considerations.
Hint: if you are looking to save money on a build (and who isn’t?!), you might like to consider one of our standard designs.
STEP 3
Pricing
We offer a full envelope solution, or you can choose from Walls, Roof and Floor panels.
From a dimensioned drawing we can provide an initial cost estimate.
Once we have assessed your plans, we can provide you with an estimate. You will find this finished installed wall m2 cost is comparable to timber frame solutions due to a reduction in labour but with far better energy performance.
Your final pricing will be subject to a review of engineered consented plans.
STEP 4
Panel Plans
Panel plans are generated by our team using Revit which can be provided to you in either 2D or 3D format.

STEP 5
Shop Drawings
With no fabrication required on the construction site with our custom builds, our injection-molded Smart Panels save time and expensive material waste during construction.
From the final panel plan we generate our shop drawings. With our Smart Panel Building System we can integrate all your structural requirements.
JUST LIKE THAT!
The design process is that simple
We take out all the complexity of the process; any design is possible, and most standard family homes will be manufactured in one working week.
Contact our Smart Panels team to schedule the manufacturing of your panels.
