1 - With what I'm trying to do with EPS foam trim pieces it will almost be a necessity to use a direct applied EIFS exterior ICF system. Cost wise, how does the cost of this EIFS system ("DRIVIT" is one of many) with the standard thin hard-coat, residential chicken-wire stucco, compare? Since EFIS is a more durable commercial type product, I assume it costs more.

2 - We want to create some aesthetic features on the exterior of the home with EPS foam. Can one buy EPS foam molding in various shapes and sizes, if so, who sells this stuff? Can these moldings be bonded directly to ICF, concrete or other materials?

The FS of EIFS should cost less than traditional stucco. Drivit is user friendly but too many rules, I prefer Total Wall.
