If you’re looking to build a home in Grand County that can withstand the test of time – and the challenges of mountain living – Insulated Concrete Form (ICF) construction might be your perfect match. Combining unmatched durability with impressive energy efficiency, ICF homes are designed to keep you warm in winter, cool in summer, and comfortable year-round.
Greg’s passion for ICF (Insulated Concrete Form) construction began in 1999 when he completed his first project. From the start, he was drawn to the idea of building homes that were soundproof, energy-efficient, fire-resistant, rodent-resistant, and environmentally friendly, qualities that make ICF an ideal choice for our high-altitude Colorado climate.
What is ICF Construction?
ICFs are made of two layers of 2 5/8-inch-thick EPS (expanded polystyrene) foam that sandwich a 6- to 8-inch reinforced concrete core. This advanced system delivers performance values up to R-50, and it even includes built-in studs for seamless electrical installation.
Key Advantages of ICF Construction:
Exceptional Strength: The solid concrete core delivers unmatched structural integrity.
Energy Savings: Homeowners may save up to 70% annually on energy costs.
Healthy Living: Free from harmful materials like fiberglass, formaldehyde, HCFCs, and asbestos—no off-gassing.
Mold Resistance: EPS foam resists mold growth for a healthier home environment.
Eco-Friendly: Creates minimal landfill waste and supports long building lifespans.
When paired with low-maintenance exterior materials, an ICF home offers more than just comfort, it offers peace of mind.
