ICF Building Process
• For design and construction, it’s hard to find an easier system than ICF: hollowfoam blocks or panels are stacked into the shape of the walls of a building.
• The forms are filled with steel-reinforced concrete to form a solid structure,sandwiching a heavy, high-strength material between two layers of light, high-insulating EPS foam.
• The resulting walls are air-tight, strong, quiet, highly insulated, pest and fireresistant, and durable in the face of even the harshest weather.
• The forms can be installed quickly and easily, using common construction toolsand equipment.
• The industry’s wide variety of manufacturers, shapes, and sizes makes it easy tocustom design commercial structures.
• ICFs are commonly used for residential & industrial buildings, hotels, businessparks, government facilities, hospitals, schools, churches, shopping centres, andwarehouses.
Why Africa?
• Africa is the continent of Growth, Demand, Emotion and Happiness.
• Green Desert and Pro Green Built International, Lda. aim to provide theemerging markets in the housing sector with the green and sustainable ICF(insulated concrete forms) construction technology.
• With this innovative ICF system, Green Desert and Pro Green Built International,Lda. will provide customers with long-lasting quality, energy saving, and cost/time efficient constructed homes. With the energy efficient characteristics of anICF house, daily costs will be reduced drastically.
• ICF housing is the financially affordable option to conventional construction,offering families a climate controlled home. Families will increase their livingstandards in form of happiness, security and harmony.
• “A home is not just a roof over our heads” – Kurt Hirsch.

Is it possible to build an 8 floor building in ICF?
• The answer is yes, it is possible to build an 8 floor building in ICF.• The ICF System is the best system in construction.• The solid monolithic concrete walls with steel reinforcement is the strongest
against natural disasters as earthquakes, hurricanes and the lost formwork inEPS allows to insulate and protect the building from fungi, humidity, sound, heator cold depending on the environment.
• This ICF system can be adjusted to all different structure designs you maypretend to build.
Why not innovate and create buildings with their own private garden. It will transmit a peaceful, great harmony and healthy feeling.
