In an effort of cooperation to grow the traditionally formed cast-in-place concrete homes market, the Concrete Foundations Association and the Portland Cement Association have produced a new brochure promoting the benefits of above grade concrete homes using traditional forming methods. The brochure was introduced at the National Association of Home Builders annual show recently in Atlanta

The brochure stresses durability, comfort, safety, energy efficiency, and versatility attainable with concrete homes. Several systems that utilize traditional forms have recently gained acceptance in the market place and this marketing tool should help educate buyers that there are options other than ICF’s.

A copy of the brochure will be mailed to all CFA members in the next month. Additional copies may be obtained by contacting the CFA at 1-866-232-9255.

A two -hour segment of the upcoming summer meeting in Niagara Falls Ontario will deal with above grade housing.
