Greetings dockelly,
This post, in response to your question, will bump the thread through the 'recent discussion' listing again.
Perhaps it will catch someones attention that can help you with advice.
Cheers
Bump, again
Also, please fill out your profile with at least some minimal info (location). Click on your name at the top of this post.
I think I found a SIP place in Canada that sells plain units with the expectation that the builder makes all the RO's, splices, etc (following the mfg. guidelines, of course)
I will try to find it again.
Here it is:
http://www.thermapan.com/
From their FAQs page:
6. DO SIPS COME PRE-FRAMED WITH WINDOWS AND DOORS?
No. Thermapan SIPs use a standard system that makes them easy to assemble and extremely cost effective. One of the key benefits of the Thermapan system is its design flexibility. SIPs can work with any number of window and door combinations. Thermapan's reference manual also makes the installation of windows and doors straightforward and simple.
PS - I think this is as close as you'll get to "discount" SIPs. But if you find 'em, let us know!!!

Thanks Jim

I'd make sure if you do find "discount SIPS", that they come with engineering data to submit with your permit. The idea of just selling blank panels to anyone and letting them go hog-wild putting them up however they please sends chills down my spine.
