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.
