Hello everyone I'm just looking for any information on the complete block companies product. It seems like it's basically just a concrete block seven inches thick with four inches of foam. Had anyone used this product and if so what were your results. Any information would be appreciated thank you.

Wonder how much to rent the crane to move them. Can't imagine the problems if the footing or slab has some imperfections in the face. I'd pass and stick with an icf. No crane needed. There are already systems on the market that let you install insulation and steel furring strips to concrete block. Or use Insofast.

I wouldn't need a crane. The blocks are only a couple hundred pounds and I have a tractor with a backhoe attachment. I like icfs just not a big fan of the plastic studs that are used in them. Also don't like the expensive forms required to pour the concrete. I hadn't considered imperfections in the slab being an issue but since the slab will be my finished floor it shouldn't be much of an issue. I was just curious if anybody had actually used this product and how well they worked or what issue that have had with them. Plus I liked the idea of having a finished exterior especially if i can stamp it to look like slate or flag stone.

I am suspicious of a product whose only installation video is done on the factory floor

I have to make a correction. I recently saw a video of a project being built with this block. It didn't change my opinion of the block though.
