  We've been building exclusively with ICF for the last 20 years however the majority of our builds are all the way to the roof. Building the above grade walls with ICF where exposed to the elements offers tremendous benefit and great value.

  ICF makes stick framing exterior walls seem like stone age tech.

  Two of my early regrets with ICF were not putting in enough penetration sleeves AND making sure to seal the sleeves 2x...

  Despite what builders may tell you, the cost of ICF construction of a home should be almost the same as 2x6 with spray foam. Maybe 1-2% higher. When lumber prices exploded, ICF was actually cheaper. I built my house with Nudura and five years in we're very happy we went ICF

  I absolutely love Logix Brands "engineered insulation" products. Their ICF is outstanding, customer support is top notch, and they have radiant flooring and insulated panel products as well. A recent jobsite I visited replaced their OSB sheathing with Logix's Exterra product (R5) and was $8 a sheet vs $45 for OSB. This is the future of building. Great video, I really like the Glavel product used as well.

  ICF is the perfect basement foundation solution and this job is perfectly done. ICF offers unmatched strength, moisture impermeability, thermal properties, etc. I will definitely utilize ICF for my basement when I build my dream retirement home.
