Have you ever considered ICF but then decided to go with the build system you already know? Maybe it’s time to choose an alternative option. One advantage (amongst many) of building with an insulated solid wall construction method like ICF is that the blocks are lightweight and stackable. This makes them much easier to transport to site with fewer delivered needed and a reduced requirement for lorries. Ideal for difficult to access sites. #ConstructionSimplicity #ICF #InsulatedSolidWallConstruction #ICFA https://lnkd.in/d4Xj96Tk
