Advanced Framing / Concrete Construction

Advanced Framing / Concrete Construction
A construction method (also known as “Optimum Value Engineering” or “OVE”) that uses less material in the framing of a home and can reduce material costs and improve energy efficiency. Concrete construction involves using insulated concrete forms (ICFs) to create durable, efficient homes. The approach decreases the number of breaks in the thermal barrier of the building envelope. It also can save on construction costs because it is fast, especially compared with “stick built” homes.
