Code Compliance: Who Has It, and Who Doesn’t

Comparison Chart and Explanation
The industry comparison chart is back again, introduced by a concise, illustrated guide to help determine which form is best.

Project Profile: New Southern Home
Designed to showcase construction technologies of the future, this 12,000 sq. ft. home in Orlando, Fla., is built with ICFs.  Tour it during the IBS Show held in February 2008.
