Amvic-Pacific offers a one
day intensive seminar for
contractors, architects, or owners
interested in learning more about construction using insulating concrete
form (ICF) systems.
Currently
classes are offered in the
Sacramento
California area and are scheduled on Fridays. Fly-in
attendance with lodging and transportation is accommodated for out-of-area students.
The
Course
Classes provide a mixture of instructor-led class room presentations and
discussions, and also hands-on-demonstration
of the basics of all construction, electrical and plumbing installation,
interior and exterior finishes, environmental benefits, energy savings, and
value & safety. While AMVIC ICF is the primary focus of the class,
much of the information provided is generalized and the course content is
largely applicable to all brands of ICF block construction.
With completion of the course, an attendee will have been exposed to all of
the basic requirements & skills needed to build a typical 1-4 story
residence or light commercial structure.
Prerequisites:
There are no prerequisites for the course, however, a basic familiarity with
construction practices and terms will assure receiving maximum benefit from
the course.
