The world of ICF construction is filled
with lots of information. Some of it is reliable but some of
the stories and myths floating have gotten somewhat warped in the telling
and retelling. Part of the solution lies in dealing with a reputable
distributor and contractors who can set you straight, and also in doing your own homework. This
section provides an array of resource for your homework lessons.
There are numerous resources to answer
questions about ICF construction and its advantages and
disadvantages.
On our Tech Reports
page you'll find test reports including the ICC Evaluation report on Amvic
issued in April 2005, as well as several extensive reports done by NAHB and HUD that
exhaustively test the performance of ICF's.
The
Design Guide addresses issues of adapting conventional plans to ICF
and architectural considerations and structural engineering requirements.
The Construction
and Estimating guides are surprisingly,
just what they sound like.
The
Professionals page lists architects, designers, draftspersons,
engineers, and contractors within our area that are familiar with ICF
design and construction.
Lastly, the Links
page takes you off to lots of other sites with ICF and concrete
