Construction Cost of ICF in México:
A guide to Prices and Savings
The real guide to comparing ICF prices
"The most common mistake when comparing the cost of ICF (Insulated Concrete Forms) with traditional block is comparing only the price per block.
That method is incorrect because CMU's unit price will always be lower...
but it doesn't represent the real cost of building a house with it."
In ICF MEXICO, we audit the price for the important factors that make the difference:
Total Cost per m² of finished wall
Total Cost per m² of finished wall (Total Transparency)
Optimized Labour (Fast build time with ICF)
Reduced Build Time: Less contractors on site
Less Steel and Concrete
Zero cost for shoring and forming (ICF is the permanent form)
Simple finishes
Superior Energy Efficiency: Proven savings of up to 60% in air-conditioning/heating.
Zero long term maintenance
