Q&A:
Q. What was the major benefit of using AmvicTM ICF over traditional construction
methods? Describe how this project maximizes the advantages of ICF construction.
A. “This project prioritizes energy efficiency, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness
through thoughtful design and materials. Timber overhangs
regulate sunlight to reduce cooling and heating costs, while LED lighting
enhances efficiency. Permeable surfaces and Precambrian soils aid in filtering
runoff contaminants. The building’s height and coursing minimize waste, and
ICF construction ensures exceptional energy efficiency, especially in harsh
northern Ontario winters. ICF also enabled year-round construction, reducing
build time, while providing fire separation and superior sound insulation for
owner comfort. As a result, energy costs are remarkably low at an average
of $28.32 per suite per month, and selling prices remain below the regional
average.”
Contractor/Owner Quote
“We are self-contracted. We chose Amvic ICF by Alleguard
based on cost comparisons between products, along with
the analysis of lead times and turnaround on orders, plus
available products/accessories that can help facilitate
installation and specific details on our projects.
Amvic is always our preferred supplier for reliable
technical support, efficient service, and prompt delivery.”
