COMMERCIAL ICF CONSTRUCTION
Built For Greater Durability, Lower Maintenance & Exceptional Long-Term Value
innovation makes all the difference
Alaska doesn’t have to be behind the building curve. Our innovative use of insulated concrete forms (ICFs) provides a superior building envelope for all types of commercial projects. From apartments and warehouses to commercial hangars, our work is constructed faster & at the highest quality.
icf benefits owners & end-users alike
Commercial ICF projects, including commercial hangars, are notably more durable, sustainable, and structurally-resilient than pre-engineered metal, wood or other conventionally-constructed buildings. What’s more, we put an emphasis on solving our clients’ unique design challenges, always striving to create exceptional long-term value. The advantages of using ICF for commercial projects, such as hangars, apartments, condos, retail spaces, warehouses, schools, etc., benefit both the owner and the end-user alike. While owners are amazed at the superior energy performance, speed of construction and disaster resilience, their customers enjoy quiet comfort in high-quality spaces that stand the test of time.
Remote Alaska Solutions is proud to be Alaska's leader in ICF commercial construction. Whatever your project, our dedicated ICF team can meet the demands of the fast-paced commercial industry in Alaska and beyond.

What Makes Us Different
LEGENDARY TEMPERATURE & ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Even in large hangar applications, our methods offer unparalleled ability to thermally recover lost heat through wide commercial door openings. Poured concrete walls & floors provide excellent thermal mass, helping to store & release heat as needed to regulate temperature, thus requiring fewer heating cycles & substantially less energy. Our buildings have insulatory ratings upwards of R-50 & can deliver energy cost savings of up to 70%.
TRULY CUSTOM & BUILT ON TIME
ICF can accommodate nearly any architectural design aesthetic, and can run the full range of finish-level price points. Our Nudura ICF blocks can be used to create a variety of sizes, rounded walls or 45 degree angled sections for a truly custom project. Plus, our construction methods are 20-30% faster than conventional framing and 50-60% faster than CMU construction, so your project is completed on your schedule.
REASSURING STRUCTURES THAT DEFY MOTHER NATURE
With unmatched wind, fire & seismic resistance, including 4-hour/2,000-degree burn ratings against forest fires and impressive 240 mph wind ratings, our construction methods are inherently structurally resilient and can withstand nearly any strike by Mother Nature. In fact, with ICF, some insurance premiums are discounted by up to 50% in areas prone to severe weather events.
SUSTAINABILITY BY DESIGN
From the use of recycled materials, to our structures’ inherent longevity, the use of ICF for commercial applications is sustainable by design. Our structures are built to last 200+ years (compared to 30 years on average for wood-framed structures). Learn more about our Green Building commitments here.

WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING
“Our commercial hangar project was built on-time on an ambitious schedule, in spite of a major regional earthquake and significant permitting hurdles. The facility handled full-scale operations from day one, and was a tremendous value add to our operation. In the new building, our energy efficiency has improved dramatically, the workflow of our staff is now optimized, and our guests experience comfort and luxury. In a business where dynamic logistics rule the day, this purpose-built facility takes our operation to the next level.”
