6” walls, 4” roof slab plus the 8”concrete beams. 10 yds total. The house roof goes over this room so no waterproofing or thermal transfer issues to worry about. I have used lite deck with good results also. From a contractor’s perspective, build deck is great because you can keep blocks in stock instead of ordering job specific lengths.
What's the cost per ft? How do you install hardwood floors over it? Can you use MgO panels as a subfloor? Would hydroponic heating go inside the concrete?
Hey, can I ask what your criteria was or why you were choosing between those two and what your final choice was? I'm looking to be doing the same thing in a few months. Thank you
This is an awesome way to build a building, I would love to have one of these someday and I think it would save a fortune on home insurance, I know it would because I wouldn’t pay what I’m paying now
Are there any good architects that can help me get a plan set up for a small 3 story home with a basement for my little mountain plot? Thanks in advance, love these videos
Still depends, my amish crew set a 6,000 sq ft roof of insuldeck(effectively same as lite) in 4 hrs recently, total rectangle nearly flat pitch, super easy, but if I was in a harder to reach job site like angel fire without my A team, and a more complex layout I’d prefer one of these modular blocks as they are easier to handle with a small crew
It may be good to save on the "cost to ship litedeck" but what you showed (concrete touching the metal) is no good when it comes to thermal conduction. Those metal channels will be at the same temperature as the concrete roof.
Probably just as much added costs for the metal, glue and labor to assemble as the shipping. Besides, a full length piece offers less trouble during a pour and Probably more energy efficient. If costs of shipping is that of a big deal, then I would just retrieve the material myself. I prefer full length pieces myself and would not want this system.
How do you finish the top ? Waterproofing ?

Great to hear you’re going to do a video of each block type and roof type. Don’t forget to do one on Nudura XR35 as there are very few videos on it.
The XR35 has a long corner too, unlike the standard Nudura short corner.
Great job y’all. Thanks for sharing
Our pleasure!
Curious as to how the roof is water proofed. Thanks.
Cant wait for the superform review! Exactly what Im looking for as Ive boiled my choices down to either superform or nudura

How many yards for the pour ? What's the wall thickness ?
Was ICF cement roof slighty pitched?
Hydrodynamics and gravity
Do you know of any ICF houses getting hit by tornadoes and if so how they did?
They have 250 mph wind ratings

If you set aside the cost to ship litedeck, what product would you rather work with?

@@all3pools good to know and think about
Ball park.. what's that cost per foot and market cost for concrete and labor?
Labor is all over the board…. Retail around $4 /ft for block

You need a literal semi, the extra glue is less than a hundred bucks and the full length stuff is over double the cost, but ok
