Revolutionary Insulated Concrete Formwork Construction
ICF Building Benefits
Insulated Concrete Formwork (ICF) offers numerous advantages over traditional construction methods, providing superior buildings that are energy-efficient, faster to construct, and structurally sound.
Permanent Thermal Insulation
EPS keeps homes warm in winter and cool in summer, saving significant energy costs involved in heating and cooling.
Lightweight Construction
Easy to carry and position. ICF wall blocks filled with concrete are about 50% lighter than equivalent sized brick walls.
Quick to Build
Modular EPS blocks are dimensionally accurate, equivalent in size to 36 bricks, with patented locating mechanisms that lock blocks together easily and tightly.
Reduced Labor Costs
Due to the simplicity of fitting the wall system and requiring only concrete filling, skilled bricklayers are not necessary for construction.
Structurally Superior
The structure of the wall system is reinforced concrete, which is 2-3 times stronger than traditional brick construction.
Accelerated Construction
Walls can be built up to 5 times faster than brick, with building rates of 50m² per day per building team readily achievable.
Energy Efficient
ICF buildings typically achieve 40-60% energy savings compared to conventional construction methods, reducing long-term operational costs.
Environmentally Friendly
EPS is 100% recyclable and the construction process produces minimal waste, making ICF a sustainable building solution.

About ICF Building
ICF Building is at the forefront of revolutionizing construction methods in response to climate change, rising energy costs, and the need for more efficient building practices.
Since our founding, we have specialized in insulated concrete form (ICF) construction, a building method that utilizes expanded polystyrene (EPS) forms as permanent formwork for reinforced concrete walls.
