Insulated Concrete Forms

Structural engineering for ICF walls and buildings nationwide.

ICF Structural Engineering

Insulated Concrete Forms combine the strength of reinforced concrete with continuous insulation, producing walls that are energy-efficient, quiet, and highly resistant to fire, wind, and seismic events. That performance depends on the reinforced concrete core being engineered correctly for the loads it carries.

We provide the structural design and stamped documentation that ICF projects need - from single-family homes to multi-story commercial walls - engineered to the requirements of your local jurisdiction and delivered in all 50 states.

Lead Time: 2-3 Weeks

What We Engineer

Complete structural design for the reinforced concrete core.

Wall & Reinforcement Design

Vertical and horizontal rebar schedules, wall thickness, and splice details sized for gravity, wind, and out-of-plane loads on above- and below-grade ICF walls.

Lateral Force Systems

Shear wall design and load-path detailing that use the concrete core to resist wind and seismic forces - a natural strength of ICF construction.

Openings & Connections

Lintel and header design over doors and windows, plus connections for floor and roof framing, ledgers, and embedded plates that tie the structure together.

Where ICF Makes Sense

Engineered strength for demanding conditions.

High-Wind & Storm Zones

ICF walls carry substantial wind and impact resistance, making them a strong choice for coastal, hurricane, and tornado-prone regions where code demands more of the envelope.

Residential & Multi-Story

From custom homes and basements to multi-story residential and light commercial buildings, we scale the reinforcement design to the height and loading of your project.

Pricing & Getting Started

Fixed quotes with no surprises.

Pricing

We provide fixed quotes for every project. After reviewing your scope of work, we'll give you a clear price upfront, so you don't have to worry about open-ended billing.
