Cutting Holes for Windows and Doors

[Big Neil]

Aside from having the pain of getting to the inside every day, could one simply build the forms up without leaving the relevant holes for windows and doors, then just cut them out afterwards. Pre-pour obviously. Seems this might be a marginally quicker way of doing things.

[Big Neil]

well if not quicker - then certainly 'another way'

It's the standard way....  Good, hefty cross-braces ; or - as we did - use up all the spare 4 by 2.  God what a waste that was.

Only if you have money to burn. 

When you come to a window you cut a block, the off cut goes in the next row, if you cut it out after you will end up with lots of random sized pieces with no where to put them. 

Have you been to see any icf builds?
