and durability concerns, and was simpler for the trades than we had expected.

my own home made with Nexcem blocks. You shipped us exactly the right blocks; of sixteen pallets, we have about one and half left over; that’s 94% accuracy 🙂 I’ll be proudly showing off this house in the Four Corners area. It was my builder’s first experience with Nexcem, and he greatly appreciated your advice, availability, and attention to quality. The results are gorgeous. Everyone in the neighborhood is keeping an eye on the progress of this unique home. I will be grateful to you every day that I wake up in my beautiful, comfortable, fireproof, insect proof, mold proof house, so it’s appropriate for me to send you this message on Thanksgiving day. If you happen to find yourself in Utah, please come by to see the house and the views for yourself!

and no stripping forms! And of course the fact that the blocks have some insulation built in, require less concrete than a typical stem wall, and rebar is so easy to place, makes this product a true revolution in building methods!

hesitations or questions we had during the installation were addressed promptly. No question I will use it again in the future.

blocks seemed like a good choice because you need less concrete with them than with comparable products. Our builder was unsure about them at first because he had never used them before, but he was quickly won over by how easy they are to use. They require only wood-working construction tools – saws and screws – making them easy to cut to size and odd angled corners relatively easy to create. They come in easy lifting lengths. No specialized masonry skills are required. The blocks just sit one on top of the other and they interlock one end to the next one. To level, all you need are wood shims! All this meant that my partner and I, relatively unskilled labourers, could do this too. It was a very satisfying part of the build. Finally, we got excellent and timely support from Vipul Acharya – engineer, technical information, sales, and general helpful person at Nexcem. Two things I would have done differently: First, I would have tied each of the two walls together at every layer rather than just the top layer to make the walls an integral whole. (Our house is double framed making the walls 18″ wide which meant we needed a double brick foundation wall as well). Second, I would have used an actual membrane on the outside of the wall rather than just a paint-on bitumen product because I think a membrane would add durability for the life of the wall.

weather, humid weather, but where we have noticed the difference is in extreme weather. Things like high winds, extreme cold and intense heat is where Nexcem shows its ability to out-perform any traditional stick frame build. There is no question that we made the right decision, especially with more and more extreme weather being part of reality.

The system is so stout that even at seven feet it held the wet concrete with ease. Vipul was a guiding light during our build, very informative and offered the best technical support. Truly went above and beyond the call. I would recommend this product to anyone and definitely will plan on using it again. Five out of Five. Cheers; Kyle Farmer

foundation wall with the insulated inserts. We still use this system when building full or partial foundation walls and are glad to be using a Canadian manufactured product.

design. Our home is warm and has a sense of solidness that previous homes we have built and lived in just don’t have. When the storms come in we just enjoy in comfort.

a few central ways. While no one in the construction business around Chaffeè County had any knowledge, conversations I heard in the community (Salida and Buena Vista) we’re very positive, and that Nexcem blocks were the new building material on the block! The local crew quickly adjusted to a new construction model and we totally love the result.

together well and the walls went up without much hassle. I would use this product again.

will do. The quote process was informative, the delivery schedule was accurate, and the technical support was solid. Nexcem was very responsive and helpful as we worked through installation in the field. Thanks Nexcem!

had no prior experience with this material. They guided me every step of the way. They are very helpful and very thorough. I selected materials for the exterior shell and the inside finish to take advantage of the breathable quality but there are so many options on how to finish. Visitors remark at how sturdy and sound proof the house is. It is located in a windy place and people are always saying “this house isn’t going anywhere”. We all notice something difficult to describe which is how good it feels to be inside this house. I like Nexcem so much that I used it for the garage as well.
