Hyperformance Panels by BYF

The Old Way

Traditional Construction

Lengthy due to multiple stages including framing, insulation and exterior work.

Expensive labor costs, separate insulation costs, and subcontracting for various stages.

Bigger crews of framers, insulators, painters, and contractors required.

Separate insulation required, adding to the time and cost.

Complicated steps to complete exterior work.

Substantial training required for each construction phase.

Traditional construction often results in less flexible designs.

Traditional materials can result in lower energy efficiency, increasing both environmental impact and utility costs.

The New Way

Have Questions?

We Have Answers.

The construction process for a Hyperformance Panel by BYF home or commercial building begins with developing construction documents. Once submitted to BYF, they are converted into shop drawings with exact panel dimensions. These drawings are reviewed and approved by the builder, engineer, and building owner. After approval, the Hyperformance Panels by BYF are fabricated and shipped to the job site, ready for installation.

Hyperformance Homes by BYF are constructed faster than traditional framed buildings. With a well-trained panel installation crew, labor costs can be reduced by up to 60 percent compared to stick framing. At BYF, we manufacture panels as large as 4ft by 24ft, enabling entire walls to be erected swiftly, which also minimizes drying time. Hyperformance Panels by BYF can arrive at the jobsite as ready-to-install components, thus eliminating the need for individual framing, insulating, and sheathing operations of stick-framed walls. 
Window openings can be pre-cut into the Hyperformance Panels by BYF, eliminating the need for a separate header depending on the size. In addition, electrical chases are usually incorporated within the core of the panels, removing the necessity to drill through studs for wiring.

The structural properties of Hyperformance Panels by BYF are comparable to a steel I-beam. The OSB skins serve as the flange of the I-beam, with the rigid foam core functioning as the web. This design enhances the ability of Hyperformance Panels by BYF to manage in-plane compressive loads. Moreover, Hyperformance Panels by BYF can be engineered for a broad range of applications.
Most construction processes involving Hyperformance Panels by BYF are quite similar to those of conventional framing. Hyperformance Panels by BYF accept dimensional lumber and can be fastened with staples, nails, or screws. Proper sealing is paramount in a panel structure, requiring all joints to be sealed with a specially designed, low-expanding foam sealant. Any voids between panels and unused electrical chases should also be filled with this low-expanding foam. Beyond sealing, careful planning and consideration need to be applied to material handling.
