in my area…meaning at bid time I am confident that “extra” costs will be bid in by the subs due to their unfamiliarity of the technology. Any suggestions? Also, if I have a stick built house with blown in insulation in the walls is that comparable to a sip for energy efficiency?
Thanks

You might want to ask them about give you a good faith estimate, but charge T&M.
But that depends on how well you trust them. Not in terms of worry about them randomly running up cost. If you have that concern you should not even thing about them.
But rather that they will use there smarts to see best how to solve the different problems rather than just trying and trying to make do with the methods that they are familar with.
bob, ask around about who the energy conscious builders are... then ask them what they would do..
i could give you a pretty super-insulated house with sips or dens-pak cells, or foamed-in ... a smart, experienced GC can take it all in strideMike Smith Rhode Island : Design / Build / Repair / Restore
