“Green Goals, Think Unitech”

In 2005, concrete homes accounted for nearly 18% of all new single-family detached homes, up from 16.3% in 2004, according to the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and the Portland Cement Association (PCA)

Greater comfort and quiet. Those who live in ICF homes say the absence of cold drafts and unwanted noise are the biggest pluses, even topping the energy-saving benefits.

Fire resistant. Insurance companies recognize concrete as being safer than any other form of construction when fire threatens a home.

Pest proof- concrete is an unappealing food source for termites, carpenter ants or rodents that often dine on or reside in wood-framed walls.

One out of every six new houses built in the U.S. are now made of concrete. . .

Less repair and maintenance. They are not vulnerable to rot or deterioration as is untreated lumber.

As the interest in “Green Building” grows, building rating systems such as Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED™) have emerged as one way to rate the environment impact of construction. These rating systems are founded on the four guiding principles of green building
