ICF Process

Below is the process of building with insulated concrete forms. Reach out with any questions about the process!

Step One

Concrete footings are poured under the exterior walls of your home. Rebar is placed within this layer. This is 3-4 feet below the lowest level of your home.

Step Two

ICF is stacked on top of the footings. A waterproof coating is put on anywhere below grade. The vertical rebar protruding from the footings connects the ICF wall to the footing by overlapping the vertical rebar within the wall.

Step Three

ICF specific bracing is set up throughout the home, with bracing systems along doorways and window openings to prepare for the ICF to be filled with concrete.

Step Four

Concrete is poured inside the ICF. Vertical rebar is placed within to increase the strength and structure of the building. This process is completed in layers or lifts to control settling of the concrete and prevent movement of the forms during placement.

Step Five

After the concrete has been placed and achieved adequate curing time, the ICF bracing system and walk way can be removed, leaving the completed wall.
