Great first you tube video Brad. Can you tell me what size of icf block you are using and why that particular size? Thanks Brad. Looking forward to the next instalment. Cheers from Montréal
Thank you Marcel. And we used both 6" and 8". To confirm, the core concrete width is 6" and the entire block with foam is 11.25". The 8" concrete core has a with of 13.25" with the foam. The 8" was used for all retaining wall locations, and any other structural bearing locations. The 6" was used at all non-structural walls
Great question Michael. The HOA requires 66% of the exterior, and first floor, to be either concrete or masonry, not wood framing. We elected to go with ICF for the engineering, performance and efficiency of the home. The second floor bonus room is wood framed, as well as the trusses
Great video! Very cool learning about the unique aspects of building in the Phoenix area.
Really appreciate the support Markus
Super first video Brad!
Thank you so much Marie. Much appreciated
Much better video then the shorter ones. I would like to see video like this one that get more on details and in depth on how you build your projects.
Done and done. Thanks Fredrik. We will do some longer videos about our construction process
Awesome video Brad 👍.

Any concern for termites boring thru the EPS? I live in Tempe Arizona; and alot of slump block units around me have had termite problems.
Not at all. It is a non issue
Is only the first floor ICF? What were the reasons behind only the first floor being ICF?

Came here because Matt Risinger payed it a visit.
Thank you for tuning in
How much the house cost to build?
I can't disclose that here, but costs really depend on construction type, hillside, etc
