Vertical ICF (Insulated Concrete Form) Envelope Building System
An Extruded PVC I-beam assembly (Rail) that holds proprietary Vertical Styrofoam Panels (VSP) along the inside and outside flanges, fixed in place with a patented retention clip. These panels can vary in thickness and density of the VSP depending on the application. as well as width, depending on construction type and client preference. The cavity that is formed between the outside and inside VSP is then filled with Helix-reinforced concrete. This creates an impermeable barrier against air, moisture, and sound penetration while providing a minimum of a 2-hour fire rating when used for perimeter, demising, and party wall assemblies. In Multi-family applications, sound transfer between units is virtually eliminated. These product components, when coupled with its ease of assembly, make it ideal for multi-family construction, while its cost-savings make it a great option for Not-For-Profit and Attainable/Affordable projects.

Building a Sustainable Future
Insu-built was founded by two building and development entrepreneurs Lawrie Hooper and Richard Weldon who felt that there had to be a better way to build homes that were more sustainable, quicker to build yet stronger.
Many innovators have struggled with possible solutions including plastic homes, steel homes and concrete homes but these proved either not scaleable, not accepted by the marketplace ( homeowners and builders) or too expensive . Typically there was a disconnect between the inventors and the needs of the marketplace together with a slow to adapt culture in the building industry.
