Insulated Concrete Forms
A Nudura® foundation start to finish

The site is leveled and compacted.
We built the forms to the appropriate specifications for the Nudura forms used and boxed in footers for the posts in the basement.
After the forms for the footers are removed gravel is brought in and compacted. Interior perimeter drains are installed.
Several insulated form units and the exterior perimeter drains have been installed. The compacted floor serves as the staging area. Note that all the components of the walls are neatly organized for an efficient building process.
As the walls become higher the staging is applied to keep the walls straight and plumb.
The walls are done and the staging is set. Ready to pour concrete. Because of the nature of these walls the appropriate concrete flow rate is critical.
The concrete pour is critical. A concrete pumping truck is utilized to carefully place the material in the wall cavities
Having experience in using and choosing the characteristics of the concrete can make the difference between success and a blow out.
After the staging came down the floor was poured. There is insulation and radiant heat for super efficient heating characteristics.
The waterproofing membrane is applied right down to the exterior perimeter drain that is covered in crushed stone.
The foundation has been backfilled with appropriate drainage sand and is ready to be decked over. With the exception of the radiant floor heat and pouring the basement floor this entire project was completed by Mark Hawkes Forestry and Construction.
We offer cost efficient quality conscious solutions to your building needs.
