Building a Modular Home, Foundation contractor is utilizing ICF walls per my request. What is the "best" finish treatment for the exterior in South Carolina? Thanks John

Manufactured stone is nice too.

For a crawl space I think brick is most widely used.

I would think about what best complements your main envelope, meaning how are you finishing your modular home. I would approach it only from an aesthetic point of view. If you stucco the main house a stone base would look really good. If you were to use siding for the main house a stucco base would look hideous. Approach it from an aesthetic point as well as cost effective. I agree with robinnc, stucco is the cheapest and most effective cladding in these parts. You could stucco everything and give your base a different colour. Hope this helps.
