The Use of Insulating Concrete Forms for Commercial Construction – Contractor’s Perspective – Lighter, faster, and more cost-effective than other forms of construction, Insulating Concrete Forms (ICFs) are quickly becoming the construction method of choice for all forms of construction including single and multi-family, hotels, schools, offices. Concrete contractors, masons, and framers have an opportunity to learn how their trade can work with ICFs to enhance their competitiveness in today’s construction environment. The presentation will focus on how to communicate basic ICF detailing, design efficiencies, and other necessary information to designers who may not be familiar with ICF construction. Also included in the presentation will be information on how ICFs can affect other sections of the specification, best construction practices, and tips on how to determine labor costs for an ICF project.
