Yes, the ProTEC panels are SIPs. When we designed are house, it was with the idea that we would NOT be doing conventional framing. In part, because we would be doing owner-builder, in part because we wanted to checkout newer, hopefully simpler methods. You can read all about ProTEC at www.castleblock.com
Other reasons, the bug resistance, water, mildew, fire, insulation factors. We hope that it proves to be less maintenence intensive over the years. As for cost, it seemed a reasonable alternative when we first investigated, but I haven't kept up with current costs, but would be curious.
