Build

Building “GREEN” means different things to different people.   To us, building green means building  multi-generational energy efficient buildings that most of the population can afford.   While we do not discourage the use of other earth friendly products, we simply believe that using earth friendly products on a house that lasts only one generation does not really have a great benefit environment. For that reason, we only promote  green technology that pays for itself with longevity and energy savings.   We have found that by using 3D design principles we can build an Insulated Concrete homes that most people can afford.

Our collection of videos are a summary short course of our Extreme Green Building Seminars, explaining in clearly and concisely why Insulated Concrete is the best value in environmentally friendly construction.   We use many of these videos in our commercials so everyone can learn about green building.  It is our goal to get ICF construction into mainstream.

Extreme Green builds exclusively with Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF) for the following reasons:

  • ICF Homes are Strong – ICF homes can withstand tornado & hurricane force winds up to 250mph.
  • ICF Homes are Fire Resistant – ICF walls have up to a 4 hour fire rating.
  • ICF Homes are Pest Resistant – Solid core concrete ICF walls are resistant termites, roaches and rodents.
  • ICF Homes are Energy Efficient – ICF homes use up to 50% less energy for heating and air conditioning.
  • ICF Homes are Draft Free – No air infiltration through the solid core walls virtually eliminates hot and cold spots.
  • ICF Homes are Sound Dampening – Solid walls reduce unwanted outside noise by as much as 87%.
  • ICF Homes are Allergen Resistant – No hidden danger from mold and mildew .
  • ICF Homes are Economically Friendly – Insurance premiums can be as much as 20% lower.
  • ICF Homes are Environmentally Friendly – One home can save up to 47 trees.
  • ICF Homes are Builder Friendly – Reduced construction time and less labor.
  • ICF Homes are Tax Friendly – The recently passed energy bill provides remarkable tax incentives.
