I am constructing a single storey ICF building with 3 sides being close to neighbouring boundaries and not visible. What would be the options for rendering these 3 elevations economically?

 

Thanks - Andy

Sand and cement render would seal the blocks and be easy on the pocket 

Add a bit of lime to the second coat to bring it up nice and white

@nodI had always been told 3:1 sand cement base then 4:1:1/2 sand cement lime for the top coat. Is that correct ..?

Perfect 

Straight onto the ICF with the first coat No mesh needed 48 hours then top coat with a spade of lime in the mix Gives a white wash look

Surely not if the ICF is polystyrene

easy to add fibre mesh at 50 mtr if needed 

Just press into the firs coat
