Ian Scot Giesler: “What I do”

Life has granted me the opportunity to travel across North America, Asia, Europe and the Middle East. My observations of construction materials and methods are the same. Construction methods and practices ignore basic fundamentals of creating “green”, sustainable housing and commercial developments. There are no equals to the benefits that Insulating Concrete Form (ICF) technology provides; in terms of a single building system. Worldwide, ICF is ascending the bell curve of awareness and acceptance as a result of proven examples set by true ICF professionals. Individuals and companies worldwide are researching and discovering the real life benefits that ICF delivers, with the lure of this technology, they seek knowledgeable professionals to guide them along the approach to implementing these technologies and to change construction methods and practices. I am one of the few true ICF professionals with the qualifications and expertise to make change happen.
