ICF construction is a modern building technology that is becoming more popular. Our parent company, Laventure Construction, was one of the first builders to offer ICF homes over 30 years ago. The technology back then was new, and more expensive compared to conventional building methods. This is NOT the case anymore. New designs and technology make ICF the stronger, more cost-effective, environmentally sustainable, comfortable and energy efficient building solution. 

​

     Lifetime of Savings
ICF creates a supreme building envelope. The basic block is R-25, but can exceed R-40 with the added thermal mass of the concrete. It can reduce heating and cooling costs (up to 50%) and helps achieve Net-Zero Energy goals.

​

     Strength Against The Elements
The double insulated, steel reinforced wall assembly is rated against severe weather and storms. The extreme resilience to high winds makes ICF a safer and stronger investment compared to conventional building.

​

     Comfort and Quiet
A monolithic air and vapour barrier eliminates moisture intrusion, creating spaces with healthier air quality. Brands like NUDURA and Fox Blocks exceed the code minimum for airtightness, allowing accurate climate control. The design of the wall assembly minimizes sound mitigation, producing a quiet and peaceful home.

     Legalett Geo-Slabs- Suspended Concrete

A great addition to the ICF wall systems is a radiant heat floor system. These can be stand alone heating systems, or a complete shallow foundation. The shallow foundations are engineered slab on grade floor systems designed for areas with low soil bearing capacities, high water tables, bed rock, or areas where full depth foundations are not possible. They also offer suspended concrete forming systems for those requiring that application. We have worked with Legalett for over 30 years and can provide full installation of their systems.
