Rockhaven Parade Home is a 2,206 sq. ft. ICF-built residence in Nampa, Idaho. The project features a true corner window with ICF headers, varying ceiling heights, and a modern multi-window configuration within one opening.
The $477,000 project used 1,175 sq. ft. of Amvic™ ICF and was completed within a 16-week construction schedule. ICF installation took 6 days, and the home was completed faster than traditional framing.
The Rockhaven Parade Home was recognized as the 2025 ICF Builder Awards small residential 1st runner-up and won five first-place Parade of Homes awards.
Q&A:
Q. What was the major benefit of using Amvic™ ICF over traditional construction
methods?
A. “The project was completed just in time for the Parade of Homes tour and received much recognition and praise for the uniqueness of the project and the innovative designs that we could only do with ICF. The other builders were especially intrigued and impressed with the home construction. Lumber was climbing at the time this house was built so it was actually more cost-effective to build it with ICF as was it to save money to build it for the future efficiency of the home.
With ICF this home achieved a HERS rating of 56, with an annual cost savings of $943. It features a 95% efficient furnace, an attic insulated to R-49—exceeding the required R-38—and argon-filled windows to minimize heat loss. All appliances are energy-rated, and LED lighting is used exclusively throughout the home.”
Contractor/Owner Quote
“We shared our knowledge of Amvic™ ICF with our loyal subcontractors, who agreed to collaborate with us on this project. They worked closely with us, and we were on-site daily to address any questions. Since then, they have successfully completed other ICF projects and now confidently refer clients to us who are interested in using ICF for their own builds.”
