Certified EPS Dealer in Minnesota

Works Construction is a certified Energy Panel Structures (EPS) dealer serving Grand Marais and homeowners across Minnesota.

Built on Energy Panel Structures

Energy Panel Structures is the manufacturer behind the panels we build with. Their structural insulated panel (SIP) system is engineered for tight building envelopes, fast assembly, and decades of low-maintenance performance. As a certified dealer, Works Construction handles the design, sourcing, and on-site build — backed by EPS’s engineering and product support.

Homes, Cabins, Shouses, and More — Built with EPS

EPS panels work across a wide range of residential projects. We help you pick the right system based on the home you want to live in, not the other way around.

Shouses & Barndominiums

The shouse / barndominium category is one of the fastest-growing residential building types in the Midwest — and the single most-visited project type on EPS's website for the last three years. Whether you want a working shop with a home attached, an open-plan barndominium with high ceilings, or something in between, EPS panels let us frame and enclose the structure quickly and dial in the insulation values you'll need to heat it through a Minnesota winter.

Single-Family Homes

Custom homes built with EPS SIPs are airtight, quiet, and dramatically more energy-efficient than traditional stick-framed homes. We build to whatever style and footprint you want — but every home gets the same panel-driven thermal performance underneath.

Multi-Family Buildings

Duplexes, triplexes, and small multi-family projects benefit from EPS's faster construction timelines and lower long-term operating costs — important for any owner planning to hold and rent the building.

Cabins

For lake-country and remote-build cabins, EPS panels reduce on-site labor time and produce a tight envelope that holds heat when you arrive and stays comfortable when you don't. Ideal for second homes and seasonal properties.

SIPs — Performance You Can Feel

Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) are the foundation of every high-performance EPS home we build. Each panel sandwiches a continuous layer of rigid foam insulation between two structural OSB skins. The result is a wall, roof, or floor assembly that’s stronger, tighter, and dramatically better insulated than a comparable stick-framed equivalent.

Superior R-value with continuous insulation — no thermal bridging through studs
Airtight assembly out of the box — fewer drafts, less HVAC runtime, lower bills
Faster framing and dry-in — your project gets to a weather-tight shell weeks sooner
Engineered strength — designed for snow loads, wind, and the long Minnesota freeze-thaw cycle

Healthier Homes Start with a Tighter Envelope

A well-built EPS home isn’t just more efficient — it’s a healthier place to live. Airtight construction lets you control how, when, and how much fresh air enters the home, instead of leaving it to chance through drafty walls and leaky windows. Pair that with a quality ERV or HRV system and you get continuous filtered fresh air, stable humidity, and a quieter indoor environment year-round.

EPS’s Healthy Living brochure walks through the performance and indoor air quality benefits in more detail.
