Insulated Concrete Forms
SCD Inc., is an installer and builder of Eco-Block, LLC (www.eco-block.com)
insulated concrete form (ICF) homes.
Insulated concrete forms offer superior advantages to the builder and homeowner over traditional wood frame construction. Solid concrete construction is a long-term, quality alternative to typical wood- and steel-framed houses.
The features and benefits of above-grade, removable form, solid reinforced and insulated concrete construction for residential and commercial builders is as follows:
- Faster to Build - Helps shave numerous construction days off a typical home building timeframe.
- Reduced Labor - Fewer subcontractors are needed in this type of construction lowering labor costs and increasing productivity with a smaller labor force.
- Improved Utilization and Scheduling - Operations, scheduling and administration becomes more efficient in concrete construction with less labor and fewer subcontractors.
- Quicker Turnaround - A home is "dried-in" when final concrete lift is complete and allows succeeding trade work to begin quicker so an average home can be completed substantially sooner.
- Built to Last - Take pride in building a product that can last 200+ years. Concrete housing will outlast most typical wood structures.
- Minimizes Waste - Use of cast-in-place poured concrete drastically reduces construction material waste including lumber, sheetrock, wiring, and mechanical scraps reducing landfill disposal.
- Lower Insurance Rates - Building concrete homes significantly reduces potential property damage and loss during disasters like storms and fire.
Insurance premiums during construction may also be lower.
- Easy Maintenance - Concrete construction is low-maintenance and minimizes damages during construction.
Easy clean-up and pre-move-in prep generates quicker closings and quicker collections.
It also reduces builder warranty work after the sale.
