ICF and Masonry construction are a time-tested method of building walls involving the use of insulating forms and concrete block. It is becoming very popular in residential home building in many areas throughout the U.S., due to its many advantages over traditional wood frame construction.

Houses built using Concrete Masonry Units or ICF (Insulating Concrete Forms) are easy on the heating and cooling bills. Some people have experienced as much as a 50 to 60% savings on power bills over homes of comparable square footage built using wood frame.

Concrete homes stand up to severe weather. The wall structure of concrete homes are extremely strong, providing maximum protection from straight-line winds and flying debris associated with extreme storms.

If you live in the South, you will be glad to know that termites don't eat concrete. It is a given then that those little critters will not be eating up your hard earned investment.

Concrete homes also block out outside noise making them extremely quiet. In general, they offer a more controlled environment and greater all around comfort.
