About ICF Construction

All of the homes that we build at Praesidium Homes are constructed using an advanced technology commonly known as ICF construction. 

Insulated Concrete Forms (ICFs) are interlocking blocks consisting of two panels of expanded polystyrene (looks like Styrofoam, but far superior) connected by a series of polypropylene webs. 

The forms are stacked up much like giant Lego® blocks (to which they are commonly compared), then reinforced with vertical and horizontal rebar. 

The cavity is then pumped full of concrete to form the most durable, energy-efficient, safe and comfortable wall system possible.
