Simple Tool for Building ICF to the Roof

This simple tool is very effective when building an ICF structure to the roof. It’s difficult to have a frame of reference when you're starting from bare ground or floor on what heights to set your windows at, where to place your counter tops, backsplash etc.
We also use the storyboard for determining where to cut our blocks for window bucks, the height of our headers, hanger elevations, beam pockets, floor joists, exterior siding, you name it. It’s quite possibly the most effective tool when using insulated concrete forms.
With the 'storyboard', it takes away all of the thinking. Use this simple tool on the jobsite and you'll never look back again!

YESSSS! Great vid Kody ... it's sooo important to use story boards for brick and sometimes siding and many things. Sound is great too btw. Hope your week is going perfectly.

You nailed it! They definitely have multiple uses as you already know. Cheers!

That is very interesting. Thank you

I love you Kody, but that story board looks off by more than 1/4"

@frauleingermany4435 Год назад

yep...

It is very beneficial to have very level footings with ICF. Then every few courses compress the ICFs so that there is less compression when you pour. With Nudura, we will hear the interlock clicking tighter when we pour.

@uptokode 4 месяца назад

We always make sure the footings are level and straight. I see guys using these Mickey Mouse levelling clips but it never made sense to me.

@michaelrobertson8216 Год назад

don't forget to show us the ICF house in summer with costs, like you did in winter!

@uptokode 4 месяца назад

Good idea. I need to do that some day.

@JeffFenske-ud2bx Год назад

Thanks for the great info! Wondering if you have done and story and a half builds were exterior main and upper walls all do not overlap? I assume the open span below would have an ibeam so one could stack blocks on it for the upper walls not aligning either lower?

@uptokode Год назад

We did one job where the 2nd floor wall was backset from the main level wall. We engineered the 2nd floor ICF to be the actual beam to support the upper floor. But we needed some major columns and footing pads. It was cool though. I would keep it simple, keep all walls inline and add dormers for the upper 1/2 floor. Never built one but it’s the best cost per square foot of finished area.

@lightning9279 Год назад

So are you purposely ignoring the block settling on the story pole? This is the first time I noticed the settling effect post concrete pour. Thanks for the vid.

@BrianKrahmer 10 месяцев назад

great point. if you know it will settle, account for it. i use BuildBlock, and it settles almost zero. i will check pre and post pour on my next project...

What is the red pipe in the top of the wall @5:22

@uptokode 4 месяца назад

I was worried about cold weather so I installed glycol lines to heat the concrete with a hot water tank system I rigged up. But didn’t end up needing it because it stayed warm.

What width block do you typically use?

@uptokode 4 месяца назад

Nudura

6” core.

What are the red rods in the rebar slots in the top of the wall?

@wraitheffect 6 месяцев назад

This right here. Is it coated rebar? It looks massive.

@bradkvanbek7148 6 месяцев назад

I've never seen red coated rebar.

@wraitheffect 6 месяцев назад

@@bradkvanbek7148 Me either, it almost looks like they're running pex in the walls

@ericsyre9418 Год назад

My ICF supplier offered to pre-cut all the blocks for all the openings and we only have to assemble the whole thing according to the plan and numbers on each block. It's worth the little extra.

@uptokode 4 месяца назад

I’ve never heard of this. Sometimes ideas like this are good in theory but practical application isn’t as effective. Did you go this route? How did it go?
