Event Description:
Build with Strength is partnering with Habitat for Humanity International and the Insulating Concrete Forms Manufacturers Association to fortify decent, affordable and sustainable housing across the U.S. This initiative will help to provide incredibly strong and sustainable homes for dozens of Habitat Partner Families over the course of several years.
This build in Santa Fe, NM includes two houses being built side by side. Alongside construction, the NRMCA and partner ICF supplier BuildBlock will be hosting on-site training events and hard hat tours for anyone interested in learning about the benefits of building residential homes with ICFs. This is an opportunity to learn in an actual construction environment, meet industry professionals, and lend a hand as the walls go up on these special projects.
Who Should Attend?
Contractors, designers, architects, suppliers, and anyone interested in learning about the benefits of building with Insulating Concrete Forms and concrete.
