NUDURA Integrated Building Technology

We introduced ICF construction to the area in 1993 and have been steadily building a better world with ICF ever since. Our projects include small and large single family homes, schools, large restaurants, large multifamily condominiums, commercial buildings, and even work for the Department of Defense. Today, we still believe it is simply the best permanent building system available. The best part is that it pays for itself overtime through significant energy savings. It is essentially receiving hurricane and fire protection for free!!!

NUDURA Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF) sounds mundane but do not let the product name fool you, especially when this building product will do the following:

Protect you from hurricanes.
Provide a thermal and structural shell around your valuables.
Significantly reduce your energy costs.
Create a quiet comfortable living area.
Minimize fire and moisture perils.
