ICF Walls

They don't look like much now...but when you cover them up, add some other insulating elements like matching attic insulation R value or doing semi conditioned attic space using foam, good quality windows, ICF walls out perform any other system on the market. Take a look under the hood for a minute.

Basements

Green Machine builds the best basements around. Let me show you why.

Manning the pump.

Using the "wet set" can give you some cool options. In a basement pictured here, it provides a double waterstop becasue the form is submerged in to the wet concrete.

One of Great Lakes benifits is that the system is installed in thousands of basement in the northeast without the use of gravel. We with our soils and our style of building up the base by1' gives us great drainage and a working place that can take on tons of water during the construction process leaving us a dry work environment.

Thickened units in the basement slab.

A brick ledge course and a beautiful mitered corner.

The transition from 8" core to 6" core...and the addition of the Watkins Hanger for floor trusses.
