Hi,

We have planning to build an ICF bungalow, but having trouble getting an experienced ICF builder to do the whole build.

If I just got the walls up, would it be reasonably easy for a normal joiner to be able to finish the house? roof on Windows in ect. Or would it not be recommended unless they had previous experience working with ICF,as I appreciate the finish is key to the benefits of this type of build.

Thanks. 

 

Similar here but I'm choosing not to use a main contractor. I'm planing to build the ICF forms myself, then get a contractor in just to to the alignment and pour for each story. I'm the. Ordering the floor slabs as a supply and fit, and wil be using a small builder I know well to do all the internal carpentry.

 

As long as you get the design details right and communicate them to your contractors then it comes down to the work ethic and skill of the workers.

Hi, 

Has anyone used Izodom 2000 ICF blocks?

Yes,  our house was built with Econekt/Izodom 2000 ICF blocks.  No issues with them and my builders managed fine with the blocks.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply, would you know how they compare cost wise with other ICF blocks?
