In this arti­cle, we will explore how to build a foun­da­tion for a small house using insu­lat­ed con­crete forms (ICFs) and dis­cuss the advan­tages of choos­ing this mod­ern con­struc­tion method.

Com­mu­ni­ty and Char­i­ty Bring Kay­den a Spe­cial Back­yard Oasis. Kayden’s Place is a water fea­ture, pool and play­ground that pro­vides Kay­den, a 12-year-old boy with a very rare genet­ic dis­ease, with a back­yard adven­ture that con­tributes to his sen­so­ry and cog­ni­tive devel­op­ment.

No, the EPS has no struc­tur­al capac­i­ty to sup­port any loads. Wood sill plates must achieve the required bear­ing from the con­crete with­in the ICF. A wood plate that can­tilevers ¹⁄₃ over the EPS and bears ²⁄₃ on the con­crete is allow­able. This can be done with a min­i­mum 2 x 6 plate. If a 2 x 4 plate is required, a taper top form should be used to extend the con­crete under the plate.

Rein­forc­ing con­crete with the right mate­r­i­al can shape the suc­cess of any con­struc­tion project. The debate sur­round­ing fiber­glass rebar vs steel rebar sig­nif­i­cant­ly impacts a struc­ture’s per­for­mance, dura­bil­i­ty, and long-term costs.
