- Episode 3 covers how to build an ICF home from the basement to the roof. Kody demonstrates how to set a floor in an ICF wall, how to run electrical, how plumbing works, and how to attach drywall and siding.
It’s easy to adjust from old traditional construction methods to Nudura insulated concrete forms… that’s why Kody & Nudura teamed up to create this five-part video series.

Kody's the best!
🙏☺️
Great job Kody!
Much appreciated! It’s was nice to team up with Nudura and have these really well done videos!
Do you also do IFC roofs? Seems like that would provide added insulation benefit.
When doing the concrete pour by the floor (as you described for the basement) are there any issues with cold joints between the separate concrete pours for each floor?
I followed a lot of your videos while most of them :-) definitely subscribe :-) question for you what material do you use or would you suggest I use at the base of the ICF where it meets earth I do not have a basement. I am of the understanding that most products do not want you to take their product all the way to earth. I am putting standing seam metal on the roof and down the walls. stopping it At 8 inches from earth, what would you suggest between the end of the product and earth that 8 inches assuming I would not want the ICF just exposed to the elements meaning seeing the white of the Styrofoam. My system I'm using is quad lock
My go to is parging or stucco. And I always put a drip cap at the bottom one your wall metal to kick excess water away from the lowest part of the wall.
If you don’t have a basement then you can rasp the foam and use an acrylic stucco method directly on the foam since you don’t need to maintain a drainage plane behind the stucco that would normally protect the basement.
@@uptokode acrylic stucco directly to the foam, Kode, thank you so so much that is correct. I do not have a basement at all. I do have a 10 foot wall that is backfilled with gravel. On a major sloping mountain side. Did not want a basement and was too much money cutting into the rock.
What the type/brand name joint hangers you using? I cut out the foam and used plywood and anchor bolts on my first level pour as and it was a nightmare.
The ones in this video are called a Burmon hanger.
I’ve done the anchor bolt trick once and actually liked it. Fairly simple but it does take time and effort
I'm just curious. With a 2 foot deep web truss and spaced at 24 O.C., how long are those clear spans jn the building?
We have a centre beam that’s flush mount to the underside of those joists with space above to cross over with piping & such.
You can easily span up to 28’ but you will get approximately 5/8” of deflection or sag . That’s why we do the beam
@@uptokode Gotcha. I see that at the :55 second mark. Do you set the center beam on top of pilasters? Or do you use embedded hangers?
And yes, I'm planning to build an ICF house in South Carolina and doing my research.
@@Navy1977 Still looking for property in Aiken, Pickens, Anderson or Greenville counties. Steel trusses huh? I've thought about mixing composite flooring using the Canam MD2000 system. Theoretically, you can span 40+ ft with very little deflection, because it's 4+ inches of concrete and steel. That would work for floors and roofing. The only issue is how to insulate the roof without using spray foam on the underside and get R-50 or more.
@@Navy1977 Thanks man, same to you.
We created a beam pocket inside the ICF walls to hold the beams on each end. Steel teleposts in the middle areas.
If you need to pick my brain just email me for a consult. kody@uptokode.com or ask the folks at Nudura
Thanks Kody!
