When con­struct­ing a build­ing, ensur­ing its sta­bil­i­ty and resilience is crit­i­cal. Two essen­tial com­po­nents that play cru­cial roles in build­ing sta­bil­i­ty are shear walls and load bear­ing walls.

Jan­u­ary through April is when we plant our seeds for the year by dis­play­ing our prod­uct for the mar­ket in trade shows. I’ve par­tic­i­pat­ed in these trade shows for 17 years now in the ICF indus­try and it has always been the same old thing, but this year was notably dif­fer­ent.

ICF con­struc­tion for com­mer­cial build­ings has sky­rock­et­ed over the past few years. ICF ben­e­fits rang­ing from sound insu­la­tion to dura­bil­i­ty to build­ing strength and dis­as­ter resis­tance have piqued a lot of inter­est for builders and archi­tects. But it has some scratch­ing their heads, mis­tak­en­ly think­ing ICF is more expen­sive and then won­der­ing, ​“Is ICF con­struc­tion cost worth it?”

Debunk the most com­mon ICF home prob­lems myths and uncov­er the real facts about insu­lat­ed con­crete form con­struc­tion and per­for­mance.

Con­crete pump­ing has changed the way con­trac­tors place con­crete on job sites. Rather than haul­ing heavy loads in wheel­bar­rows or rely­ing on cranes and buck­ets, a con­crete pump deliv­ers liq­uid con­crete through a sys­tem of hoses, pipes, or booms — direct­ly to the point of place­ment.
