Winter Home Building in Minnesota: What You Need toKnow

Most people assume you can’t build a home during a Minnesota winter. The truth? With the right materials and planning, winter construction can actually be a smart move.

At Nicklason, we use SIP panels and a design-build approach that allows us to keep building through the colder months. SIPs are quick to install and offer superior insulation, perfect for working in shorter windows and keeping things moving. Winter also brings less demand for subcontractors and shorter lead times, which can speed up your build overall.

If you're ready to break ground and don't want to wait for spring, we’ll help you plan and build with confidence—no matter the season.
