Reward Wall Systems and Habitat for Humanity Continue to Partner throughout the Country
From Summer 2003 issue of Reward Wall Systems newsletter (used with permission)
Word is spreading among the Habitat for Humanity affiliates throughout the country that ICF (Insulated Concrete Form) construct, and specifically Reward ICF construction, is the way to go.
A good example is currently taking place in St. Louis. According to Kyle Hunsberger, construction manager of the St. Louis chapter of Habitat, they decided to use ICFs after they heard about them from other Habitat affiliates at a regional conference. One of the issues discussed at the conference was building longer lasting homes. Habitat wants to build homes that will last more than 50 years. After hearing about ICF construction, the St. Louis chapter thought they could be successful with ICFs and save money. They then began shopping for the right ICF to use, and narrowed the field to two.
"Follow-up made the difference," Hunsberger said. "We decided on Reward ICFs because Thad Tobaben, the Reward representative I talked to, answered all the questions. With Reward we not only got a good price, we got the construction and technical support, too. Reward spent the time to make us feel comfortable. I also think iForm is the best of the forms I looked at."
To date, the St. Louis Habitat chapter has compelted 11 iForm foundation, eight of which already have houses built on them. They are planning to complete 13 to 20 more iForm foundation this summer, and would like to take it above grade in 2004.
