Field-tested guides for contractors, GCs, and owner-builders — from design through post-pour.
Real cost data, the 6 build phases, who to hire, and the 7 mistakes that derail first-time ICF projects.
Target slump, PSI, aggregate size, on-site adjustments, pour sequence, lift height, and blowout prevention.
Effective R-value vs. rated R-value, 30-year ownership math, thermal mass, and where ICF makes the most sense.
Buck sizing, bracing for pour pressure, the 5-step flashing sequence, and the reglet detail that eliminates callbacks.
The hidden steel and fur-out costs, thermal bridging, install speed, and when block still makes sense.
