Build With Strength
By Robert Garbini
A new marketing initiative by the NRMCA offers immediate benefits for ICF contractors and may be the key to finally opening the mid-rise sector to the industry.
Weatherproof Window Bucks
By Douglas Bennion
A newly-published study reports the results of a multi-year testing effort to determine the best ways to install window bucks in ICF walls. The “best practice” recommendations are expected to be incorporated into building codes in the coming years.
Project Profile: Health City Caymans
This world-class Caribbean hospital is one of the first uses of ICF in the medical sector. Built to U.S. standards, it hopes to transform health care, being completed for half the cost and in half the time of similar buildings built in North America.

Built in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy, this all-ICF Delaware home resists storms, generates as much energy as it uses, and was built on a budget equivalent to stick-frame construction.
Project Profile: Hansen Home
This beautiful two-story residence in the Midwest has the ability to withstand a wide variety of natural disasters, thanks to the foam-and-concrete wall and floor system used.
Project Profile: Resort Boulevard
Modeled after the estates found along the French and Spanish Riviera, the Resort Boulevard home has an aura of grace and elegance that will stand the test of time.
