PERFORMANCE SNAPSHOT

FASTER CONSTRUCTION

The ICF system combines formwork, insulation and structural walls, helping government projects move efficiently through construction.

MONOLITHIC POURED CONCRETE

Reinforced concrete creates a strong, continuous structural wall.

INSULATION + STRUCTURE

Insulation and reinforced concrete work together in one wall system.

HURRICANE & EARTHQUAKE RESISTANT

Engineered for strength in demanding tropical conditions.

WHY BETTERBLOCK ICF?

BetterBlock ICF combines reinforced concrete strength with continuous insulation to create durable, comfortable and energy-efficient government and civic buildings well suited to Costa Rica.

SUPERIOR STRENGTH

Reinforced concrete construction provides exceptional structural strength and long-term durability for government, municipal and civic facilities.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY

Continuous EPS insulation helps reduce heat transfer and cooling demand, supporting lower long-term operating costs for public facilities.

GREATER COMFORT

Insulated concrete walls help maintain more consistent indoor temperatures throughout offices, public service areas and shared civic spaces.

QUIETER INTERIORS

Solid insulated concrete walls help reduce outside noise and sound transmission between offices, meeting spaces and busy public areas.

FASTER CONSTRUCTION

The ICF system combines formwork, insulation and structural wall construction into an efficient process for government and civic development.

BUILT FOR COSTA RICA

Reinforced concrete strength and continuous insulation are well suited to tropical weather and demanding environmental conditions.

THE BETTERBLOCK ICF CONSTRUCTION PROCESS

A streamlined ICF building system that moves from foundation to a strong, insulated and efficient government building.
