Check out this local project! 🛠️

BuildBlock Insulated Concrete Forms (ICFs) are hollow EPS foam blocks that stack like Legos to create the exterior walls of a building. Once stacked and braced, they are reinforced with steel rebar and filled with concrete.

This creates a wall system that provides superior insulation, airtightness, and strength compared to traditional wood framing. If you’re planning or building a new project, BuildBlock is just the thing for you to use in your structure!
