Understanding Insurance Trends for Wood vs. Concrete Midrise Buildings
5 Common Misconceptions About ICF Construction
ICF construction creates modern structures that are energy-efficient, durable, disaster-resistant, and have good indoor environmental quality (IEQ). ICF construction is also strong, flexible, fast and easy to install. Unfortunately, even with these many benefits, some architects and contractors are reluctant to utilize it due to misconceptions about ICF construction.
