BuildBlock ICFs Installed in Extreme Makeover: Home Edition Project
A volunteer installation crew led by New Form Building Systems (BuildBlock Master Distributor for the State of Maine) and BuildBlock's Jason Fisher accomplished what some thought couldn't be done: In 18 hours straight they installed the ICFs for an almost 3000 sq.ft. structure in a remote area of Athens, VT. It's all part of an Extreme Makeover: Home Edition project underway now. Special quick curing concrete allowed for work on the rest of the house to continue within hours of the pour.
BuildBlock Donated the ICFs and on site technical support, BuildBlock Master Distributor The McKernon Group (Brandon, Vermont) is the general contractor for this exciting project. Click here to visit our Extreme Home Makeover mini-site for details.
