ICF Concrete Homes is a division of R&D Contracting. ICF blocks were
patented in the late 1960’s, but had shown little penetration in the
northeast. In 1996, we perceived a growing demand for cost effective,
versatile, and energy efficient.buildings, and began to specialize in ICF
installations. Since then, we have installed over 200,000 square feet in
New England.
Our operation has two distinct divisions, one panel crew to form and pour
conventional foundations and a second for ICF work. Our ICF division has
several projects either completed or underway, in MA, CT, RI, and NY. Our
commercial projects are as small as a Dunkin Donuts to as large as a
multi-story, 15,000 square-foot retail / office mixed-use building. Our
residential portfolio includes unique custom and single family, energy
efficient homes. Our customers all have one thing in common—the use of
proven technology to reduce monthly energy costs, and to create
environmentally-friendly, versatile living and working spaces.
Our ICF crew includes licensed supervisors, carpenters, and a certified
welder. We install several different floor types, including steel bar joists,
engineered lumber and dimensional systems. Due to direct job site
shipment of the ICFs, we are able to cover a two-hundred mile radius
around central Massachusetts.
We have a 2400 square-foot facility that serves as a prefabrication shop
and warehouse. A fleet of ten vehicles, an all-terrain high-lift fork lift and
portable welders enable us to address customer needs efficiently. We have
the bracing and alignment equipment required to properly install ICFs.
Above all we have the experience to do the job right the first time, in a
timely, professional manner.
If you are an architect, builder or homeowner researching ICFs, our links
page provides further information. Please review our portfolio to see some
of our ongoing and completed projects. We welcome the opportunity to
discuss your plans to modify or utilize ICFs in your next project. A list of
customer references is available upon request.
