ICF Project Drawing Development

Being ICF certified for design and installation, we go further in developing ICF projects within our office. We have created more details, real time concrete volume calculations, material takeoffs, job-site details and solutions, to bring greater clarity to to the projects we design and develop.

Enhanced Architectural Detailing

Enhanced Architectural Detailing
Moving beyond standard plans to provide a granular look at the building envelope.

• Precision Corner & T-Wall Layouts: Custom detailing for every wall intersection to ensure structural continuity and minimize onsite foam cutting.
• Window and Door Bucking Specs: Integrated bucking details (wood or vinyl) that account for concrete pressure and thermal bridging.
• Utility Penetration Mapping: Pre-planned sleeves for HVAC, plumbing, and electrical to prevent the need for "coring" through cured concrete.

​Real-Time Concrete volume Calculations

Eliminating the guesswork and financial waste associated with concrete ordering.

• Dynamic Modeling: Our software calculates the exact internal volume of the ICF cavities, accounting for rebar displacement and lintels.
• Staging & Pour Analysis: Breakdowns of volume per "lift" or per floor, allowing for more accurate scheduling of pump trucks and ready-mix deliveries.
• Waste Mitigation: Reducing "short-load" fees or the environmental cost of excess concrete disposal.

Comprehensive Material Takeoffs

Providing a "Shopping List" accuracy that streamlines procurement.

• ICF Component Counts: Exact totals for straight blocks, corners, and identify specialty taper-top or brick-ledge blocks.
• Reinforcement (Rebar): Structural engineered calculated requirements for linear footage and weight requirements for horizontal and vertical steel, including specific lap-splice lengths.
• Bracing & Scaffolding: Estimates are more accurate for scaffolding and braces needed to ensure walls remain plumb during the pour.
