Needing building advice

[chrisdag]

Re: one of your original questions about custom platform building. I've got a 20ft yurt in western maine and during my research I was really interested in seeing if someone would make a custom round platform out of SIP panels, cut it into pieces suitable for 1-2 people to wrangle and deliver it to me in Maine.

SIPs are really interesting/efficient and they can be pre-cut and channeled for wiring and plumbing while in the factory so it all just snaps together onsite.

I found a number of SIP makers that could do a 20ft circle and at least one company had done a yurt deck in the past. I ended up deciding 'no' only because the cost of truck delivery to our spot in maine basically doubled the price.

If I had to build a new Yurt I'd do the base platform from SIPs though especially as this is year #3 of the yurt and I missed the temperature window this year to crawl underneath with a couple of tanks of spray foam. If I had just bought SIPs upfront I'd be all done and bottom insulated by now!
