In this arti­cle, we’ll explore flood proof home con­struc­tion using inno­v­a­tive mate­ri­als and tech­niques, with a focus on insu­lat­ed con­crete forms (ICFs).

Con­trac­tors, archi­tects and engi­neers are design­ing and con­struct­ing new build­ings that are using renew­able mate­ri­als, invest­ing in sus­tain­able HVAC sys­tems, and are improv­ing the build­ing enve­lope to reduce the amount of ener­gy waste.

In order to max­i­mize the avail­able project foot­print and achieve the beau­ti­ful mediter­ranean-inspired look, the design required com­plex, tight-radius cor­ners and open­ings.

While it’s great news that we’re not cur­rent­ly using more ener­gy to run our homes, the study also ​“rais­es impor­tant con­cerns about mak­ing home ener­gy use more effi­cient.” If American’s time at home con­tin­ues to rise, home effi­cien­cy will need to as well.

Dis­cov­ery is one of the four schools to receive the zero ener­gy cer­ti­fi­ca­tion, nation­wide.

Home­build­ing trends large­ly reflect the demands of the Mil­len­ni­als — the largest home-buy­ing group enter­ing the hous­ing mar­ket as first time home buy­ers.

Brew­ery con­struc­tion, like brew­ing itself, is both an art and a sci­ence. The build­ing must not only be aes­thet­i­cal­ly pleas­ing, but also func­tion­al and durable.

Real estate investors can lim­it the finan­cial risks of fix and flip con­struc­tion by demol­ish­ing the old struc­tures and rebuild­ing with insu­lat­ed con­crete forms (ICFs).

Today’s archi­tects, con­trac­tors, and home­own­ers are increas­ing­ly rec­og­niz­ing the ben­e­fits of mod­ern con­crete home design using ICFs.
