Meet Paul Chatelain

Builder, Inventor, & Affordable Housing Advocate

Paul Chatelain has been building homes and structures since 1975, beginning as a union carpenter in Los Angeles. Over the years, he saw recurring issues: weak exterior walls, rising costs, and inefficiencies in traditional construction. 

So, he did what builders do best – he built a better system.

An inventor since the 1980s with more than ten major products, he developed the STRIPS Panel System to create stronger, more efficient homes.

Words From Our Clients

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I really act as my own contractor?

Yes. The system is designed for serious owner‑builders. You’ll still hire licensed trades for plumbing, electrical, and mechanical work, but you’ll manage the process with our guidance and keep the contractor markup as savings.

Most of our customers build their homes for 40–50% less than the typical market value. For example, a home that might appraise around $400,000 often costs about $200,000 to build using our system and owner‑builder model.

Our strip panel homes are engineered for wind speeds up to 180 mph and have already proven themselves in hurricanes, while conventional homes were flattened. They’re also waterproof, mold‑proof, and fireproof on the exterior walls.

No. You can start with one of our 20–30 core designs and modify it, or work with us on a completely new custom plan. Either way, everything is converted to CAD and made permit‑ready.

When you purchase a strip panel building kit from Square Built Sales, half of your plan cost is credited back toward the kit, so you’re not paying twice.
