For 2013, the U.S. Fire Admin­is­tra­tion report­ed 1,240,000 house fires. Hous­es con­struct­ed out of ICFs have key advan­tages in min­i­miz­ing the dam­age and spread of these fires.

As builders and buy­ers look to con­tin­u­al­ly fight ris­ing costs, mak­ing small changes and minor sub­sti­tu­tions, as a way of val­ue engi­neer­ing, can large­ly impact the final cost of a build.
