Exciting progress is happening in Chilliwack! Sonbuilt Custom Homes is constructing a full Insulated Concrete Form (ICF) home, and we at Performance ICF are thrilled to be part of the journey. As a proud Quad-Lock dealer, we love seeing high-performance homes take shape using Quad-Lock’s superior ICF system.

The Build So Far

Construction is well underway, with the crawlspace concrete now poured—a solid foundation for this energy-efficient home. Next, the walls will be formed using Quad-Lock ICF, providing unmatched insulation, durability, and strength. A full ICF home means superior energy efficiency, soundproofing, and indoor air quality, making it a smart choice for long-term comfort and sustainability.

• Soundproofing – Keeps outside noise where it belongs—outside.
• Fire Resistance – Provides excellent fire protection for added peace of mind.
• Strength & Durability – Reinforced concrete walls offer unmatched resilience.

Watching the Progress

Seeing a full ICF home come to life is always exciting, and this project in Chilliwack is no exception. The next steps will involve forming and pouring the ICF walls, bringing this energy-efficient home closer to completion.

When it comes to buying a home, today’s savvy buyers aren’t just looking for square footage or a pretty façade—they’re seeking quality, comfort, and energy efficiency. That’s why a home built with insulated concrete forms (ICF) stands out in the market. As a real estate agent, showcasing these benefits can help you attract the right buyers and close the sale faster.

Revolutionizing the Way Homes Are Built

ICF construction is revolutionizing the way homes are built. Unlike traditional wood framing, ICF uses reinforced concrete sandwiched between layers of insulation. This creates a home that is stronger, quieter, and more energy-efficient than its conventionally built counterparts. For prospective buyers, this means lower energy bills, exceptional durability, and year-round comfort.

Energy Efficiency

Energy efficiency is a top priority for modern homebuyers, and ICF homes excel in this area. The continuous insulation and airtight construction result in reduced heating and cooling costs. Buyers will appreciate the long-term savings and the home’s smaller carbon footprint—a win-win for their wallet and the environment.

Peace of Mind

But it’s not just about energy efficiency. ICF homes also provide superior soundproofing and withstand extreme weather conditions, offering peace of mind in regions prone to storms or natural disasters. Additionally, the walls resist mold and pests, making the home healthier and easier to maintain.

Focus on Benefits

When marketing an ICF-built home, focus on its benefits. Use phrases like “low utility bills,” “quiet and serene living,” “built to last,” and “healthier indoor air quality.” Highlight how ICF construction aligns with their priorities for sustainability and comfort.

By emphasizing these advantages, you’ll not only sell the house—you’ll also sell the dream of owning a home that truly delivers on quality, efficiency, and peace of mind.

We are excited to be supplying Quad-Lock ICFs to Citadel Developments for a stunning custom home in the beautiful city of Abbotsford, British Columbia. Nestled in the heart of the Fraser Valley, Abbotsford is a city that seamlessly blends modern innovation with natural beauty, and we’re proud to be part of its transformation toward sustainable living.

Why Choose Quad-Lock ICF?

There is so much potential with Quad-Lock insulated concrete forms.   This is a building system that uses interlocking foam panels, which are filled with reinforced concrete.  The possibilities for design are virtually endless and result in a home that is incredibly strong, energy-efficient, and sound-insulated.

Building a Better Home

The Citadel team is well experienced in building with Quad-Lock.  The excellent thermal insulation provided by ICF’s minimizes thermal bridging, ensuring that indoor temperatures remain consistent year-round. This not only results in lower utility bills but also contributes to a smaller carbon footprint—something we all care about deeply.

Unmatched Durability and Safety

An ICF home is incredibly durable. The combination of concrete and foam creates a structure that can withstand Abbotsford’s diverse weather conditions, from heavy rain to strong winds and even seismic activity. The fire resistance of this ICF home provides an added layer of safety. Concrete doesn’t burn, and the foam insulation is treated with flame retardants. This home is not only durable but also safe, giving the homeowners peace of mind.

Looking Ahead

We are confident this sustainable building method will become a standard in residential construction. Thank you to Citadel Developments for allowing us to be a part of this home building journey.

Project Update – this Abbotsford ICF home is approaching lock up and we are excited to see construction approaching the finish line! These ICF walls will be the ideal sound proof option for the future homeowners as this home backs onto an often used road.
