Our family is so glad that our home is built using Nexcem ICF blocks. Since I decided to use our life savings to rebuild our family home, I realized that there is very little sense to invest on a timber frame house like the second little pig. I went on to research, from steel frame to ICF, attending seminars, etc., and ultimately found Nexcem blocks to be the most sustainable (no off-gassing) material that is also affordable (especially when the lumber cost skyrocketed during COVID).
Even during construction, our neighbours complimented that all house should be built with bricks like they have in their countries of origin, and little did they know that Nexcem insulated concrete forms are even far more superior than traditional bricks in terms of structural, insulation, sound and storm proof. Our HVAC team was shocked that it took only a few minutes to warm up an entire home and it feels so solid like a commercial build.
I love the fact that we are also buying local as the Nexcem manufacturing facility is only two hours away. The Nexcem team has already been quick and responsive, from immediately sending us a free sample when I was just exploring, to post construction when our we needed additional technical specifications, the team is always there to help us. Thank you for making our sustainable net-zero home a reality !!!
