Framing homes for general contractors / developers

General contractors at times get too busy to complete all aspects of building, and sometimes need to “sub out” foundation and framing contracts. Big Valley has supplied many contractors with competitive pricing and quality craftsmanship. As developers search for quality builders to deliver their products while ensuring their name in the industry, Big Valley will be their builder of choice.

new home foundation being built with insulated concrete forms

Insulated Concrete Forms

Big Valley Homes offers the installation of ICFs (Insulated Concrete Forms) and is certified in the Nudura system and has erected other brands such as Quad Lock. ICFs reduce the energy required to heat and cool the home, some estimate by 20 per cent. Modern building regulations make it more affordable for certified builders to use this in home construction instead of traditional wooden forms. The polystyrene material is also fireproof and can outlast severe weather.

“Although they add a little more to a new home’s construction cost, some owners choose to go with ICFs,” says Derek of Big Valley Homes, “not only for the energy they’ll save for years but it is a great soundproofing agent and is an additional fire barrier.”
