Building with ICF
Insulated concrete formwork (ICF), first developed in Germany in the 1970s, has since been successfully used all over the world. ICF is an innovative, sustainable, high-performance construction method that combines the innate strength of concrete with the exceptional thermal insulation properties of polystyrene to produce a cost-effective, durable, and energy-efficient framework. ICF systems can be used for a wide variety of building types from residential homes to schools, hospitals, and commercial buildings.
Benefits of ICF Construction
Energy Efficient
ICF systems are comprised of solid concrete walls with continuous insulation that enhances energy efficiency that are ideal for residential and commercial buildings- no drafts or hot spots when you build with ICF. The combination of foam and concrete means a home with an ICF walls will result in savings on energy bills. With a tighter building envelope, there is less thermal transfer through the exterior walls. ICF systems result in generous savings on heating and cooling bills in comparison to traditionally built homes. There are also substantial saving within the building process through the reduction of trades and construction steps.

Who is ICF Construction For?
ICF for General Contractors
We are regularly collaborating with our colleagues across the construction industry to deliver projects promptly and accurately, striving to upgrade the quality, velocity, and value of producing exceptional ICF construction services in Colorado and surrounding areas. ICF trade has been growing considerably over the last several years, and as more home and business proprietors become aware of the profits of this construction system, more builders and contractors are beginning to meet the requirements. Whether a young family is looking to build their first home or a large commercial organization is building new quarters, every client strives to save money and resources. By using ICF systems, the build time is shortened, which means less is spent on labor.
ICF for Commercial Projects
More and more owners and developers of commercial buildings understand the advantages of ICF construction — benefits such as energy efficiency, durability, sound compression, fire, and climate resistant. Conclusively, several assets of the ICF commercial buildings also provide financial gains to the building owner. ICF is the most reliable and most energy-efficient building element accessible today and is used to build residential buildings, schools, churches, hospitals, office buildings, retail spaces, and other commercial constructions. Commercially, ICF presents sustained energy efficiency, significantly decreased maintenance, more economical cost of ownership, quicker construction, and disaster resilience. Coupling the toughness and durability of concrete with firm insulation, ICF provides excellent solutions for commercial spaces such as apartments, condos, hotels, or office facilities.
ICF for Homeowners
Long-term benefits, energy efficiency, durability, and comfort are the essential factors to consider when building or purchasing a new home. Every homeowner’s preferences are different, and therefore the importance of each factor is counterbalanced uniquely. One of the most notable advantages of ICF for homeowners is energy efficiency. When living in Colorado, the weather shifts periodically, and the high thermal mass of concrete, therefore, shields the interior of a home from the external conditions much better than traditional wood frames. ICF homes are generally more comfortable with consistent temperatures, fewer drafts, and a decrease of outside noise. This continued comfort level stretches to protection against fires, hurricanes, and earthquakes.
