G ' day Old mate, my twin Bro JS, and Enga

AND Matts

John you hit the nail on the head mate, well done

Until we get a product that is acceptable to professional architects and
builders straw bale will remain a greenie thing!

Not that there is anything wrong about being a greenie, I am one such
greenie!

So we have been working on the ideas for prefab panels for many moons now.

Our SITUPS or the Super Insulated Panel System have gained acceptance here
in Australia.

These SITUPS are load bearing and can go two story high no worries!

One of the SITUPS buildings is a fully certified Passive House see:

We still help our clients with standard straw bale construction, whatever
that is these days, however our business now specialises in the manufacture
and building of the SITUPS.  After over 21 years in this industry we can
see a light at the end of the tunnel.

Several new orders are being delivered over the next month and we have
another 5 orders to manufacture and deliver by the end of the year.

Right now our biggest problem is the drought we are experiencing and we may
have to source our straw bales from further afield.

Our manufacturing technique includes compressing the bales inside the panel
using a hydraulic system.  This makes our system different to any of the
others on the market today.

Here are some of the SITUPS we have manufactured and help to build.

We in this industry have to move on keep changing and keep improving if we
are to make a real difference to the built environment.

Our principles have not changed our intent is resolute our goal is to make
a difference to our environment and the hip pockets of our clients.

Still going strong after 74 years on the planet.
