ICF HOMES: The Best Investment for your $
ICF HOMES: The Best Investment for your $
You imagine your dream home to be a beautiful, safe, and comfortable place. With the steady rise in energy costs and the growing threat of weather-related natural disasters, it’s also a smart decision to make sure it’s energy-efficient and built robustly. With our NUDURA Insulated Concrete Forms (ICFs), your next home can be all this and more.
ICFs provide superior energy efficiency, consistency in performance, and lower utility costs over the lifespan of your home versus traditional building methods like wood. This means long-term savings and better value for your dollar.
Homes built with our NUDURA ICF forms are also impressively disaster-resilient, offering strength, safety, and durability against extreme weather. You get all of these advantages, plus greater design flexibility, allowing your architect the freedom to build to your aesthetic specifications.
With an ICF home, lower energy bills, unshakable disaster-resilience, and exceptional long-term value is BUILT IN.

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
LEGENDARY TEMPERATURE REGULATION & ENERGY EFFICIENCY
LEGENDARY TEMPERATURE REGULATION & ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Simplicity yields perfection. Our homes provide maximum comfort + energy performance values of upwards of R-50, resulting in energy savings of up to 70% when compared to traditional building methods, such as wood. Superior performance comes from a solid, steel-reinforced concrete core of up to 12”, creating stable thermal mass for the ultimate in home comfort. These features create profound advantages in terms of soundproofing as well, offering STC ratings of 50 and better.
TRULY CUSTOM & BUILT ON TIME
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
REASSURING STRUCTURES THAT DEFY MOTHER NATURE
For centuries, concrete has stood the test of time for its durability & strength as a building material. With exceptional impact & seismic resistance, our steel-reinforced concrete wall systems are designed to take on Mother Nature’s worst. Capable of withstanding winds of up to 250mph, forest fires for 4 hours / 2,000 degrees, and with greater anchorage/flexibility to resist earthquakes, our system ensures that your family and home are safe for years to come. In fact, with ICF, some insurance premiums are discounted by up to 50% in areas prone to severe weather events.
SUSTAINABILITY BY DESIGN
SUSTAINABILITY BY DESIGN
From the use of recycled materials to our structures’ inherent longevity, the use of ICF for home construction is sustainable by design. Our homes are built to last 200+ years (compared to 30 years on average for wood-framed structures). Plus, we promote the construction of green homes by creating less waste, lowering energy bills and reducing residents’ exposure to mold & toxins. Learn more about our Green Building commitments here.

“The moment we met the owners of Remote Alaska Solutions and learned about the advantages of ICF construction, we knew this was the only way to build in Alaska. Not only was the entire crew professional and easy to work with, the construction process flew by faster than we ever could have imagined. Having now experienced our first Alaskan winter in the new ICF home (one of the coldest winters on record in the area for nearly two decades!), there's simply no comparison. As promised, our energy bills were a mere fraction of any of our previous wood-framed homes thanks to beautiful radiant concrete floors and the stellar thermal efficiency of the insulated concrete forms. Once you experience an ICF home's comfort, quietness and efficiency, we promise you'll never go back to a "regular" home again."
