Disaster Resilient Homes & Buildings

Hurricanes, floods, earthquakes and fires threaten our safety and our prized possessions. And they seem to be on the rise, both in frequency and intensity. At the same time, families continue to be drawn to the beautiful coastal areas (and the many other locations) that are prone to these dangerous climatic events.

Have a look at the picture to the right from Hurricane Michael. A stick frame house wouldn’t have had a chance at stopping this.

Strong and safe ICF homes are not expensive. But when severe climactic events threaten, they’re priceless.

First, the highly insulated concrete-and-steel Logix ICF building envelope will protect and provide comfort and peace of mind to your family during the threatening event itself.

Then, in the days and weeks afterwards while your community’s utilities and infrastructure are being repaired and your air conditioning or heating is left unpowered, the air-tight and highly insulated Logix ICF envelope will continue to surround your family in an ambience of relative comfort, with moderate temperatures and humidity levels.

And as well, ICF is also a great option if you wish to build a separate safe room either outside of the home or inside an ICF, or wood-frame, home. Click here for more information on ICF-built safe rooms.

Logix ICF is the perfect start toward building a cost-effective and highly disaster-resilient home or building. And here’s how you can optimize the power of Logix ICF to provide maximum protection, peace of mind and comfort for the specific climactic event(s) that are of particular concern to you:

What people say about building with Logix

Amb. Gene Applegate

I love finishing the inside walls and roofs of any and all Logix structures.

Robert Fast

We chose to build with ICF for many reasons - energy efficiency, added sound proofing, flexibility of design. After working in our head office for a year the benefits of building with ICF are clear to us - we are not interrupted by the noise from our maintenance shop or truck traffic in our aggregates pit.

Verny Lehrman

I’ve specialized in church construction since 1977. My first Logix project was the New Hope Church. We started in late August and were closed in by winter. The project came in on budget and 3 months ahead of schedule. During the opening ceremony, there were two standing ovations for everyone involved in the project. Needless to say, my first Logix project was a complete success.

In today’s volatile building materials climate, lumber prices have been on a very steep incline. Labor and wood framing materials, when you can find them, are at record premiums. Considering this , it is a very easy choice to make the move to Logix ICF construction. Logix ICF saves time during the building process and now it saves money up front. Customers do not have to wait to see the financial benefits through energy savings.

James Otten

I price checked this 2-story ICF-designed home vs wood-frame construction: · Full Logix ICF basement · Logix ICF exterior walls for the main and upper floors · ICF floor system for the main floor, upper and roof deck. For the price check I kept the basement in Logix ICF but quoted the exterior walls, both floors and the roof deck with wood-frame construction. The two building envelope quotes actually came in within a couple of hundred dollars of each other and my building material supplier told me to expect higher wood prices in May! ICF has always been the better way to build and with wood prices the way they are today, ICF is simply a no-brainer.

I built my own home with this and my electric bill average is $60.00 a month. my insurance premium is low. I used the Logix Platinum R28.
