Built using Beco Wallform’s structural system, this contemporary scheme features a cantilevered, copper-clad upper storey. Left: A basement build by ICF Supplies, using Nudura blocks, prior to the concrete pour
Simplicity and continuity are two key ingredients if you want a straightforward project. So given that just about every self-build starts with a concrete foundation, wouldn’t it make sense to use it for the rest of a scheme? That’s where ICF, or insulating concrete formwork, comes in.
