Cost Benefits

Today, home buyers expect to get more from their new home. They want a good looking home, they also want a home that fits their lifestyle – of course. But also a home with solid, high quality construction. Greater security & comfort and of course lower energy bills & lower maintenance. A home that’s healthier to live in and easier on the environment.

It’s becoming harder and harder to meet their new expectations with the same old building technology – Double brick or wood framing. So more and more builders and home buyers the worl over  are turning to something new. A modern adaptation of a centuries-old technology using the most proven building material on earth. Concrete.

Insulating Concrete Forms (ICF’s) give you all the benefits that have made concrete the material of choice for home building worldwide: Solid, lasting construction that resists the ravages of fire, wind, Mother nature and Father Time. But ICF’s do plain concrete one better – or rather, two better – by giving you two built-in layers of foam insulation. This gives an ICF home some sizable advantages over an ordinary home.

Greater energy efficiency. More peace & quiet. More sheer day-to-day living comfort. All wrapped up in a solid, high-quality building package that gives an ICF home an utterly remarkable feel that really has to be experienced to be believed. As soon as you step inside, you can tell that an ICF home is not an ordinary house. It’s not just beautiful, comfortable and quiet. You can feel that it’s solid and built to last.

So just how expensive is it to get all these extraordinary benefits? The truth is you can get superior ICF technology for a lot less than you’d think. ICF’s are so efficient to build with and easy to use, that the cost of building an ICF house is comparable to that of an ordinary brick or framed house. But you get so much more home for your money.
