ICF Construction Cost

On average, the cost to build an ICF home only results in a 5% increase in upfront construction costs.  Having said that, the HVAC system in an ICF structure can be downsized, there is no need for wall insulation, vapor barriers, furring strips or many other features required for a traditional wood-framed or concrete block wall system, not to mention the potential for reduced labor costs.

Praesidium Homes also includes additional energy saving features in your ICF home, such as spray foam insulation to the roof deck to completely “seal the envelope” and an on-demand water heating system.  The biggest impact of all comes in the long-term savings from energy bills that are cut in half and the significantly reduced insurance premiums that accumulate over the entire time you occupy the home, leaving more money in your pocket each month.
