ICF Construction Manual

We know that there is no one "best way" to put an ICF project together. Therefore, we have created this online construction manual to both collect and disseminate the knowledge of the entire ICF community. If you are an ICF professional, please help us and others by contributing your knowledge and experience by filling out the comments and suggestions form found on each page (be sure to indicate the correct step in the form).

The construction manual is divided into a number of steps that a typical ICF project goes through and each step has general instructions written by the ICF Information staff. If you'd like to input comments on a step that we haven't included, submit under miscellaneous. If you're not an ICF professional, we'd recommend that you read the Overview of Building with ICFs first.
