Pre pour rooftop.

Update on after we came back down here. Walls pour up to joist ledge. And superfloor system installed. With foam on top as well as its 2% sloped with 1” foam to lighten the amount of needed in pour. is hooked in our walls and mat is down. Just have to set the chairs and sleeve the vent openings and we’re ready to pour early next week.

Just a few benefits of below

LA County Building Department needs a lesson on these facts about ICF. They said to us that the poor folks who lost everything in the fires cannot use to rebuild their homes. They’re literally ready to rebuild on their lots however LA doesn’t thinks ICF is suitable for earthquakes and insulation R value 🤔💭

“Insulated Concrete Forms (ICFs) offer significant advantages in terms of earthquake and fire resistance, making them a viable option for disaster-prone regions like San Jose, CA.
Here's a breakdown of their strengths:
Earthquake Resistance:
Strength and Durability:
ICFs create strong, durable concrete walls that can withstand seismic forces, meeting standards for earthquake resistance.
Seismic Energy Absorption:
ICF technology helps buildings absorb and disperse seismic energy, reducing potential damage.
Ductility:
The combination of concrete and steel in ICFs provides the necessary stiffness, strength, and ductility for earthquake resistance.
Resilience:
ICF concrete structures are known for their superior performance against natural disasters, including earthquakes, compared to conventional building systems.
Fire Resistance:
Fire-Resistant Materials:
Concrete, steel, and the foam insulation used in ICFs are all non-flammable, making them resistant to wildfires and fire spread.
Mitigation of Fire Damage:
ICF systems are effective at mitigating fire damage, offering a strong fire barrier.
Superior Fire Resistance:
Concrete walls, formed with ICFs, provide distinct safety advantages due to their superior fire resistance.
Other Benefits:
Structural Safety:
ICFs offer protection against high winds, fires, seismic forces, and impact from flying debris.
Energy Efficiency:
ICFs contribute to energy-efficient buildings, which can be a significant benefit in the long run.
Durability:
ICFs are known for their durability and resistance to rot, decay, and pest attack.
Quick Construction:
ICF building methods are quicker than other methods for building with concrete.”
