- Dispelling the outdated myths of the traditional building industry by Telling the Truth; that superior concrete homes cost significantly less to own month in, month out, than old fashioned stick-built homes; in fact, did you know you can even build the same size superior ICF home at about the same cost as old-fashioned timber? – The truth is that choosing an ICF home equates to approx. a 5% higher initial outlay, which is very rapidly recovered through the significant energy savings (up to 70%) the moment you move in and every month after – Just Imagine, Significantly Lower Heating Costs in Winter, Significantly Lower Cooling Costs in Summer - plus you will get to enjoy the Insurance savings, maintenance savings and the noticeable improvement in your home’s comfort & safety levels all year round.
