Why Insulated Concrete Forms (ICFs)?

Palace Builders Plus, LLC. discovered that ICF’s (Insulated Concrete Forms) are the ideal product because a home built with ICF’S and Solid Steel Reinforced Concrete Walls survived Hurricane Katrina's wrath in Louisiana in 2005.  Below you can see that the home's exterior is virtually intact. We understand that your family's safety is a number one priority. We also know that energy savings and environmentally friendly homes are important to you. Why would you choose to build with anything less than the best?
