In This vid we visit Austins job near Branson mo to check out the progress on a mammoth ICF Roof he's working on! Pour went Great! Homeowner imparts some great wisdom on when to DIY and when not too!
THANK YOU! Fire, flood, and wind damage are not discussed enough when we use ICF. Home insurance is becoming outrageous in cost. This construction needs NO home insurance. We just need to get the mortgage banks and insurance companies to create special exceptions for ICF homes.
Please do quick video on the general process/workflow from the perspective of a GC or owner-GC from deciding if an ICF roof is right in your case. A updated cost breakdown would be interesting as well. I am based in Arizona so I am curious if ICF roofs are worth it out here. Thank you so much for your videos and when I am ready for a pool kit I will def be giving you a call!
It would be fine, it’s just way more expensive and difficult to attach than simply doing tpo, we’ve done it on the shaw hollow project, I’ve got videos on it, but standing seam is more expensive than tpo and in most cases you need to fir out the roof first or take significant steps to attach it to the concrete:). So we do it but the reasons are usually architectural, if waterproof is only desire tpo makes way more sense:)
What is the roof pitch on this? My current drawings have a 12-3 pitch on the roof because we were planning on doing standing seam, but now I'm pretty hot on ICF for the roof as well. In your opinion do you think 12-3 is too steep for concrete or should we reduce it a bit?
I would reduce it if it’s possible, 3/12 is asking a lot more of your concrete crew, meaning more guys more money and more chances of something going wrong, all that said 3/12 is possible just gonna be harder finding the labor!
32" in 40'. So like 0.8 in 12 or 6.67% slope. So far the water runs off it fine. Every day there are fewer drips as the Xypex reacts with the water. The whole roof is being watered down 5 times a day for over a week. Only one very small crack so far.
extremely interested in this build, & would love if Don would reach out! loads of similarities with my plans; simple rectangle, southern gain, calculated shade, fastfoot, fox block & window bucks, low-slope ICF roof. this is far larger, although i'm planning 4 separate dwelling designs (about 3,800sqft total), and 2 of them are 2-story. have some odd ideas/plans for semi-passive heating/cooling. i'm 3hrs from your plans in Angel Fire, Aaron... what's my chances of contracting with ya? lol
lol never know, Amish won’t go but Austin’s guys will! That said, 3 hrs which directions, I work with a great icf guy in Albuquerque who just started his first 2 pools, im going to be out there fairly soon!
@@cuttingedgehomes9251 ...i'm currently still in Phx renovating this house, but our land is on the other side of the Sandias that border the East of Abq. very open to referrals (i'll need formal engi plans/prints for Sandoval county too)!
@@logoschristianacademy6044 Hey, what an awesome build. Congrats. I am interested in doing something similarly designed as mentioned above by Ivan. Please do a follow up video with @cuttingedgehomes9251 at the next phase. Do you have any social medias where you are posting updates yourself? Would like to follow along. Also, could you share your ideas for your floorplan and maybe the dimensions of those massive windows and overall dimensions. Im guessing 40x150? But thanks and keep up the DIY it is pretty inspiring.
@@cuttingedgehomes9251 got it. I'm building rental multifamily and trying to figure out it makes sense to go this route. we will usually do TJI with insulation batts, resilient channel and double layer drywall.
