Multi-Family Dwellings
Complaints from occupants about noisy neighbors
is a constant problem for many multi-family property managers.
If the high STC (sound transmission class) rating was all
insulating concrete forms had to offer multi-family structures,
they would be worthwhile! But in fact they offer far more
to the occupants and building owners alike.
Consider these two possible scenarios:
You build an
apartment building using
Traditional Construction
You build an apartment building using
Insulating Concrete Forms
Nothing really differentiates you from
the several other apartment buildings in the area.
Renters are attracted to the many
benefits of an ICF building (comfort,
quiet,
safety) and know
they'll recoup in
energy savings
what extra they pay in rent.
Renters pay 20% - 50% more in heating and
cooling bills, making the gas and electric companies
very happy.
You (instead of the utility
company)get the substantial amount of money the renters
save on energy; the renters pay no more than they would
any way and yet enjoy the luxury of a draft-free,
comfortable, and quiet ICF home.
Maintenance costs... well, you know all
about those.
The durability of solid concrete walls
protect your investment and decrease the amount of
maintenance required. Tenants learn quickly not to kick
a wall when they're angry.
All good things must come to an end.
Eventually, your rundown, dilapidated apartment building
is torn down (contributing to the billions of tons of
annual demolition waste our nation has to put somewhere)
and you get to pay for a whole new building to be
constructed.
The strength and permanence of
steel-reinforced concrete significantly lengthens the
productive lifespan of your structure. Now that the
construction loan is paid off, you're enjoying greater
profits than ever.

Insulated
concrete form construction offers tremendous benefits to
tenants and building owners alike.
