Clear Answers for
Smart Building
Our simple 3-step process:
- Develop Plans: Submit your construction documents
- Approve Shop Drawings: Review and approve detailed panel specifications
- Fabricate & Ship: Panels delivered ready for installation
For those seeking more technical details: 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.
Build 30-60% faster than traditional construction, completing a typical home in 5 days instead of 6 weeks. HyPerformance™ Panels by BYF enable significantly faster construction compared to traditional framing methods. With a well-trained panel installation crew, you can reduce construction time by up to 60%. A typical 1,800-square-foot home structure can be completed in just 5 days – a process that traditionally takes 6 weeks. Our panels come pre-engineered with insulation and sheathing integrated, eliminating multiple steps and reducing overall build time.
Key Time-Saving Benefits:
- Single-step installation
- Pre-integrated components
- Reduced labor requirements
Streamlined process
Strong enough to withstand F0-F4 Tornadoes, which represent 70-80% of ALL Tornadoes according to National Weather Service data.
The structural properties of HyPerformance™ Panels by BYF are comparable to a steel I-beam. Our panels feature OSB skins that serve as the flanges of the I-beam, with rigid foam core functioning as the web. This engineering design enhances the ability of HyPerformance™ Panels to manage in-plane compressive loads. Moreover, they can be engineered for a broad range of applications, ensuring optimal strength and durability for your specific needs.
Additional Strength Features:
- 160 MPH wind resistance
- Hurricane-grade durability
- ICC certified performance
- Superior structural integrity
- Uses standard fasteners (staples, nails, screws)
- Requires specialized low-expanding foam sealant for joints
- Needs foam filling for electrical chases
- Material handling requires basic planning
- Works with dimensional lumber
Additional Considerations:
- Proper joint sealing is crucial for optimal performance
- Panel-to-panel connections need specific attention
- Standard construction tools are compatible
- Minimal additional training required
