Interested in building an insulated concrete form (ICF) house? While not as popular (yet!) as wood-frame or stick-built homes, ICF construction produces a disaster-resilient and energy-efficient structure, far safer and stronger than wood-framing.

As you assemble the ICF design/build team for your project, you can begin to look at various ICF home plans with the space, layout, and architectural details to meet your needs. ICFs offer unmatched design flexibility, which can be intimidating when you’re only limited by your own imagination.

Thankfully, you don’t have to start from scratch. To simplify the process, Nudura has created a set of ready-to-use ICF home plans in a range of modern floor plans and house styles to find the best ICF design for you and your family. Nudura’s ICF building plans include:

• A semi-open floor plan with an in-law suite
• An ICF ranch house plan
• A family friendly ICF house plan with a home office
• A two-story ICF home with a two-car garage and roof deck
• An ICF farmhouse with front and back porches

From there, you can purchase the home plan (or plans) you want and work with your contractor to take the design off the page and bring your ICF home to life.

If you already have your new home design laid out in a wood-frame house plan, it is not too late to convert them to an insulated concrete form plan. While there are different architectural and building considerations for stick-built houses, you can still adapt a wood house plan to ICF to enjoy all the energy-efficiency, durability and sustainability benefits of a concrete home with any exterior finish you could imagine.

Wherever you are in the ICF home-building process, feel free to talk to a local Nudura technical expert who is available in-person or virtually to answer any of your questions.
