Massachusetts Site Tour Highlights Benefits of ICF Construction

The Build With Strength team in conjunction with the Massachusetts Concrete & Aggregate Producers Association (MaCAPA) recently hosted an Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF) site tour in Newburyport, MA, reports NRMCA Senior Director, Building Innovations, Doug O'Neill. The venue (seen here, along with a photo of the group discussion) is a 3-story multifamily project located at the heart of the city's business district. The tour included a group of legislators in the morning and another group of design professionals in the afternoon. Both groups learned from the developer, Steven Lewis with Newburyport Properties, and the general contractor, Groen Construction, on why ICF construction was considered for this project and how the project came to fruition.

NRMCA's Gregg Lewis acted as master of ceremonies; he and his colleague O'Neill provided a national perspective while state association directors Craig Dauphinais of MaCAPA, Jon Kuell of Northern New England and Dom DiCenzo of Connecticut offered regional insight on the benefits of ICF construction.
