I searched the forums but only found a couple of posts from over a year and a half ago. I'm wondering if anyone has any updated information:
On our last visit I saw a house being constructed with Covintec Structural Concrete Insulated Panels (SCIP). They have a wire mesh on either side of styrofoam that has concrete which is then sprayed or troweled on. In February we plan on looking into the building process. Wiring, framing, and plumbing I can do myself. Having knowledgeable/skilled concrete workers would be desirable. Does anyone know if working with these panels is commonplace or something people would have to be trained on the job for? What is the rental market like? Can bobcat/backhoes and concrete sprayers, mixers and air compressors be rented or are these generally owned by individuals? Are there any recommended sources for construction workers in the Corozal area that might be familiar with this process? ...thanks!
