I like the basement range

OUTSTANDING : o .....

I've been watching your products for almost five years, why haven't they evolved at all?

That is a pretty slick system you have. It saves time having the right tools for the job.

Would like to learn more. Sorry if name icon comes up 2x. Computer glitch we don't know how to fix.

Nice!!! Looked like a roof!🥴

Before I worried about gables I would have had concrete floors and ceilings. Still wouldn’t survive termites or a fire.

Holy shit!

Seen a video of this new way of people building houses of this osb polystyrene build homes 😂 I can't see how Florida is or any of the south is gonna use this actual properties

I’m not sure why you wouldn’t cut the channel prior to installing the box. The use of the impact driver and the impact bit being used as a hammer was painful to watch.

OUTSTANDING : o ......

Mucho gracius. Very nice. I am glad you had the pics to walk along with your chat!

This seems like total overkill, especially considering most ICF is closed cell foam

A regular framing crew will build those walls in a half day, I don’t think it is the right direction to compare that, I believe is more like the steps you’re getting with this system as, framing, insulation and finishing interior and exterior on just one step…

I see some people are paging the ICF walls. What are the pros and cons of doing this? Thanks.

Straight to the point. Thank you sir for the video!

How much to put this in a mansion if possible?

¿Cómo se fijan revestimientos o revoques de cemento?

alomst to a t......LOL

Thank You

very good video

According to all my research, this should be illegal. This is a cost cutting measure that provides weak, unstable foundations that will cause massive expensive repairs.

The depth of your ICF to concrete have to be taken into consideration. The insulation on my walls are 2 1/2 to the concrete. His PVC boxes won't work. I had to go with INEXO. Don't go with anything else. No metal boxes either!

Thank you for the video. I understand this video is 4 years ago and may not get a response. I could use some advice about repairing ICF's that already have cement in them. Trying to finish the garage and am stumped on how to fix it properly. Thank you.

What did your ceiling R rating turn out to be?

No crew has the time to do this for an entire foundation. This is extremely labor intensive and not a good overall designed product. Wrap the underslab and outside perimeter walls with a continous termite protection product made by companies such as Stego Industries.

What's the cost of one of your ICF blocks from Jamaica

please turn of profiles in you edge setting in SKP... It looks so cluttered....lol

Thank you for giving real testimony about BB! This is a great company. People are safer and more comfortable in an Insulated Concrete Form assembled home or commercial building. I am still designing my dream!

Crummy musical sound track is overbearing to the script. It add nothing to your message.

I would love to build my next home as an ICF construction in New Mexico. Just can't seem to find the builders there.

How do you run your rebar when you have an 18' garage door with roof load above?

Should the arroyo board be protected with something before backfill?

seems way to finicky to me and to many chances of throwing the blocks out of level. I would rather just cut out a channel near grade and fill with mortar to provide an inspection area to look for those little suckers. Best combo it ICF and metal stud framing and eliminating any food source from the start. But I know that's not always cost effective for some.

Are you only offsetting the rebar from 3 to 1? on each course.

Hi, Where can i download the excel file for material amount estimate??

Wrong wrong!!! All this can be avoided by using Plastilock electrical boxes and pvc conduit installed before the pour. Much more neater.

Definitely too complex a product. It would be much better to have a special build block with the termite barrier built in. It would of course have to provide methods to join blocks side to side and extend out to the finished surface. Ideally such that the blocking metal can be trimmed after the final surface is in place. So that any differences in the final surface depth are dealt with.

How to order the product

A very nice home. If an EF5 tornado hit the home the weakest parts would be windows and garage doors. I plan to have a much smaller single story ICF home built with a similar concrete roof; metal frame storm windows with security screens; metal storm doors with security screen doors; hurricane garage doors with roll down hurricane shutters. An EF5 tornado can generate wind speeds of 300 MPH + with flying debris at speeds of 150 MPH. Storm windows, hurricane garage doors, storm entry doors may handle 150 MPH winds, however for added security and safety the metal security screening over the windows and entry door should lessen the winds force on them along with the debris hitting the high impact security screens at 150 MPH which should absorb that impact; not the windows or doors. There are few videos showing an ICF home after being hit by an EF5 tornado and those homes did not have a ICF roof; all that was left were the walls. The roof was gone because it WAS NOT ICF and just a standard roof; there were no windows any doors or anything in the home because everything was sucked out of the home. It looks as if no storm windows etc were used. If these homes were built with an ICF roof, storm windows and doors with security screen etc. those homes would likely still have all their belongings with only damage to the exterior. Making the entire home more of a EF5 tornato proof structure. A better way to protect your fanily and pets.

While I do lke the stryrofoam block, my new nterest has fallen more towards the Autoclave Aireated Concrete Block. The reason behing this is, is that it is just as easy to cut with a handsaw, there are no joints like there are when regular bricks ar mortared together, it resists heat like you can not believe and very light weight to use

Fantastic! Show us more when it is finished. I see concrete block homes built with steel in Maui that collapsed with the fire and destroyed the home from within. I saw one BB builder use concrete on the roof of his massive home. Is this a viable option? I want to help an 80 yr old couple build a small, 600 sf BB home. Very simple and easy to maintain safely in their final years. They need their independence. Not a nursing home.

Thank you for all of the photos documenting the work!

I have been searching high and low for answers to a question that seems like any video like this would answer. That is, in a stepped footing, what prevents the concrete in the higher levels, since it is a liquid (however thick) from just flowing down to the lowest level of footer and overflowing there. That's what would happen if you poured water, or even the heaviest thickest syrup into a footing trench or form. The problem would occur whether you first filled the lowest trenches/forms, or the highest. Apparently the answer is so obvious that no one bothers to show this or explain it. But it is not obvious to me. The only hypothesis I have come up with is that you fill the lowest footing trench or form first, starting at the stepped ends. By the time you finish filling the lowest trench (or the lowest form), the concrete nearest the step-up (the concrete that you started with) is stiff enough so that when the next level up is filled in the same manner, the lower level concrete can no longer flow (because it stiffens that quickly??), and so the weight of the newer liquid concrete doesn't push the older concrete out of the lowest trench and cause that to overflow. It drives me crazy that EVERY video on youtube that purports to explain how to pour step footings fails to discuss this. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate every technical video on youtube that I see, they have saved me dollars and trouble for years. I am just frustrated that I can't find anything on this particular issue anywhere on the "interwebs". I would appreciate any light any of you might want to shed on this.....

If you are not going to show any details, don't bother posting.

I need one in Florida. I was considering a monolithic dome but I think in the long run, BuildBlocks is the way to go. I looked at concrete and steel homes in Maui in the fire. The weakest point was the roof and once that collapsed in the entire interior was freaking history. I want to be done with shingled, clay, tile and metal roofing. 25-35 years is not impressive anymore. I will be 100 in 32 years. I will have to put another roof up again unless I sell. Thanks for posting this. You should try to include more detail in the video so we have something to consider in our plans. How high! How thick are the walls. I assume the walls are being poured on the existing concrete foundation that has already set. I have a 14/30' concrete slab I can use for the safehouse. Idalia just came through and we were pummeled with rain and wind. No damage. But the questions always remain "What if this is the big bad one and these 100' tall trees snap onto our home while sleeping and we die?" This is bothersome. Thanks again!!

Are these 8“ of concrete between the foam blocks? The ceiling/roof looks like 3“?

ChampionOps is the best buildblock contractor in Oklahoma.

I will not be using this product just because of the use of the guy @3:38 says what he says. Never tolerate the intolerable. Stop promoting intolerable lifestyles. Period.

How would you cool your attic? I live in high desert.
