Family built a fully ICF Duplex about 15 years ago and it’s the best house I’ve ever been in! It’s now a dream to build my own ICF home in a few years.

My house is nearly all ICF I can cool 2100sqft home 12 ft ceiling with 1 window AC unit sized for a 10x10 bedroom homes is full sun but has an overhang I designed to shade front in summer and let the full sun in winter home stayed 50d no heat on a - 20f cloudy day- 76f when suns out. Homes a high mass all passive solar -geo design that I came up with in 2007.

Had planned to build an ICF home 28 years ago. Local inspectors had never seen one, and were so difficult about the idea, (real goobers) that we relented and stick built with lumberr instead. Regretted that decision ever since. Ready to build an ICF on the same property, due to the ICG storm resistance and energy efficient property.

there is a new home being built locally that is using this technology. it is a pretty big structure with a second level. since i saw this video i knew what they were using to build the house. i learn so much on this channel. thank you.

Been using ICF in for a few years now and it's such a good product to work with.

I watched the whole project they did with this. They should have kept going up with the ICF for the entire addition.

I wish I would have known about this 5 years ago when I had my house built. 🥶

Don't back fill until you have the first floor deck in place to provide bracing to the concrete foundation.

3:20 the poor guy in the baseball cap is thinking - "HEY! WTF! I can't believe you destroyed that - now I need to order more! I no longer feel guilty about taking a dump on your pickup's windshield when I got drunk last week!"

The squeak of the styrofoam would kill me if I had to work with it every day

What do you do when it come to hanging closet shelves or anything into a icf wall .

With the rebar holding slots on the plastic pieces are you not required to tie the rebar together?

grantbelnap

What about the problems associated with termites and pest control people refusing to treat ICF foundations? Any truth to this?

TheMonkdad

How does this compare price-wise to conventionally poured walls? I would imagine that this could be far cheaper due to reduced labor costs, no need to remove the forms, no need to apply waterproofing or insulation after the pour.

siggyincr

Maybe I missed something but shouldn’t the comparison be based on actual floor space and not foundation size? Don’t you lose more interior floor space with traditional insulation? If so, seems like ICF is closer to traditional poured concrete than what you’ve calculated.
