Impressive stuff! Will look into it further. In the 1980's there was a product called "rastra". A Mc Donald's in Tempe, Arizona was built out of it in 1988. They have a plaque outside, detailing the unusual construction method. Your product seems to be better than theirs. Much success to you, thanks for the very fine presentation.

Will these work to replace a poured basement wall (that gets back filled) legally (according to code) in northeast Georgia? Would like to use something like this to avoid the poured wall contractor for a basement under a new house. Imagine a mountain building lot and the basement is dig out in the side of the hill with the second floor framed up on top of it. Poured walls are common here. But; what a hassle, expense and mess. Lastly, our building code has now demanded that all basements be back filled with washed #57 stone. No dirt! Better dig the basements perfectly tight and precise!

The biggest problem i've seen with misaligned blocks has been walls shifting out of plumb. Though i've never personally worked with this system.

Response to Johnny B from Eco Building Systems Corp Your comment: whats with the shims and spray foam? I get using spray foam to glue them together but whats with the shims, are they not squared off? It just seems like an inefficient way to bond them together, I can imagine a work site with 59,000,000 shims stuck to the deck with spray foam glue. My response: 59 million shims on the deck? Really? Our forms are precision made but because we are meticulous builders as well as an ICCF manufacturer, a small deviation from plumb in a wall as we stack course after course is unacceptable. So we use shims to bring our courses of forms into perfect plumb and foam adhesive to ensure that the small effort expended with a level to stack a perfect wall remains perfect. Clients should expect nothing less from a builder who is proud of his work. When the glue dries, we collect the shims and reuse them on the next job. They aren't glued to the deck. The build methods we use are not inefficient to us. Foam adhesive and shims creates a monolithic wall system with straight and level and plumb walls to easily fill with steel and concrete to make a precision house as strong as a fortress. We are not opposed to using more efficient methods to achieve the same results. So if you have better ideas than us to make us more efficient, please comment and share them.
@johnnyb86294 жыл бұрын
@@tanktindal OK, I think I get it. I was wondering why not use a mortar and set them like bricks but that more dense mortar would act like a thermal conductor and degrade the insinuative quality of the wall right? That's why the spray foam, its insinuative quality is same of better. now I was thinking of better ways to hold the bricks plumb why the spray foam stiffens that would be better than shims and I'm hard pressed to think of another way that wouldn't be more expensive than shims. since shims are so cheap , that ever system I come up with has to have more value added than just holding the wall plumb temporarily. my first thought is of suspending a fixture inside the cell in the block, that would make a stack more uniform so that minimal if any plumbing of the wall would be required. The value added would be time. I think you see this in your foam block ICFs and the fixtures are embedded in the concrete during the pours.

I know with ICF's there's a lot of bracing that happens so that during the pour the blocks don't get out of square or out of plum. I didn't see any of that in any of the videos.

@@theperfectblockiccf Yes, that's nice, but how does that work then? Can you point me to some place that explains how that stays plum/square?

@@theperfectblockiccf Thank you. very helpful this seems like a great option for crawlspaces for my use. Can I attach "things" to this on the inside and outside? Outside would be waterproofing primer, membrane and then securing to the form. Inside would be IPS foam. Do you do the install or does someone else? i.e homeowner or builder. Are there installation materials I can look at. Any special considerations for the slab? Those forms don't look like they weigh that much when people are carrying them in the video.

What's the square foot cost comparable?
@tanktindal3 жыл бұрын
An example cost: For our top of the line form, the 10" Asymmetric ICCF is $25 a form (all our forms provide 4 square feet of wall area). Estimated cost for a completed (forms plus concrete grout and rebar) 10" Asymmetric ICCF wall without exterior or interior cladding (stucco and drywall) and excluding labor is approximately $9 a square foot. I excluded cladding because there are several ways to clad the wall and labor varies from region to region and whether you are an owner/builder or hired contractor.
