Inside the hup! building system

Every hup! wall panel combines timber, steel and insulation in one patented component, made in a factory and engineered before it reaches site, not pieced together on your driveway. That single panel replaces work that would normally involve several trades, which is a big part of why a hup! extension goes up so quickly and performs so well once it’s finished.
