    Hi,

    Just looking to get advice regarding the cost associated with ICF. We are building 214m2 house and hoping to start building towards the end of this year. We've been considering all build types- Concrete block work is popular but ICF seems to be a method that's quicker. Would anyone have an idea the cost difference between ICF and block work. Thanks

    We're almost finished building an ICF house (215m2, contract value to builders finish was 380k) and when we were looking into the different options at the time (~ 18 months ago now), our engineer told us that ICF was roughly the same as block build as block layers were thin on the ground and as such, charging a lot. Not sure how true that was or if it still holds.
