This is how you build a house when you don't want to live in a fire hazard, and when you don't want to worry about your home blowing down from high winds, and when you don't want termite infestation, and when you want a much higher R value than stick construction can offer, meaning lower energy costs. Two by fours [actually measuring 1 1/2 x 3 1/2] with a whopping R13 batt insulation = LOL. This is how you build a house when you want to pay less in labor costs rather than paying top dollar for 19th century throwbacks beating nails into wood. Yeah, this is how I want to build a house!
was concrete put into the roof later? or, were the panels merely used as a "framework" for roofing? I was thinking "spray in" insulation, in lieu of concrete may work, but wasn't sure if the concrete was needed for stability in the design.
Its always good to see experts posting comments!! Well, the "gap" referred to below is closed using the same panel in the video - just cut to fit. The panel itself does not have any concrete in it - its pure insulation and the steel which allows tremendous spans with no need for support. Spans of 7.5 meters can be achieved with no support. All constructive comments welcome!!!
Was going to reply under Turbo's post but he's correct. This is a SIP and not ICF. Not trying to be a dick, just thinking that maybe you can correct the title. Looks like the walls could be ICF though. I'm looking for info on ICF's for the roof versus SIP but I think I'd be good to go with ICF walls and SIP's for roof. Thanks for posting this as I haven't seen metal SIP's yet. Most are OSB style but maybe different countries have different styles.

Awesome! Love it. How much? R Value? We build Passive Solar with no mechanicals needed so its perfect.
Nice tag line!😱
This is not an ICF (Insulated Concrete Form). It called an SIP (Structural Insulated Panels).
Its definitely not a ICF panel and never seen a metal or aluminum clad sip myself. So to me its neither ICF nor SIP.

Constructive comment: keep your workers safe! (that's not the way)

I am new to ICF houses but want our next home to be ICF.
amvic icf call pacific icf
I think this is actually an ICE block not an SIP
working on workers comp early retirement? "Just swing it around, I'll catch it!"
Didn't you see the hi-viz vest? You don't need a tag line if you've got a hi-viz vest!
Buldgr easier to find the body!
LOL agreed!
These are concrete filled? Seems like one could add just a little more steel and skip the concrete entirely.
jonr5000 why make it weaker?
No, no concrete in the roof panels. Just steel reinforced rigid insulation panels. Very strong, light weight, durable, fire proof.
I don't need no safety ropes...
Evan Gaffney Especially when wearing high visibility vests. XD
Safety second....
9 years late and a dollar short but any way someone knows the manufacturer of these roof panels?
You can make these panels yourself by using galvanized "C" channel up to 6" wide or custom order them in 8" width and insert tje foam between them
Greenstone manufacturing
Take guy on the roof is still alive? And the others keep all their fingers?
ICF - stands for Insulated Concrete Form. I think you have your terminology wrong.
1:36 what could go wrong? I'm going going to stick my hand between these concrete panels.
WoW!! That was a waste of time!!
Looks like amateur hour.
