I am a owner builder and need some help reading my plans. Will you guide me?

[@SmithNDaBuilding]

What are you building?

[@claudinefranciswilliams1964]

I am building a single family ICF home

[@SmithNDaBuilding]

Wow! That’s great! I’ve done one short video about ICF homes, but I’m also familiar with a product that is similar to ICF. Google Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC). It’s a German technology, but there are homes and commercial buildings built with AAC across the US. What part of the process is your project in and how can I help?

[@claudinefranciswilliams1964]

I am asking my architect to explain the foundation plans and he is not willing, because it have some little square that looks like CM blocks on the perimeter/ exterior walls but they are not supposed to be CM blocks it's supposed to be Ic f And that's where I'm confused. I'm at the foundation process.
