Self Builders – Insubloc

Self builders come to Insubloc when they want a solid, energy-efficient home and a clear understanding of what they’re building with. We supply high-performance ICF blocks and straightforward guidance so you can create a warm, quiet, concrete-core home that feels substantial to live in and is economical to run. Whether you’re managing the build yourself or working with a main contractor, our role is to make the ICF side simple and predictable.

Why self-builders choose ICF with Insubloc

ICF gives you thick, insulated walls with a reinforced concrete core, helping your home stay warm in winter, cool in summer and quieter all year round. Because the insulation and structure are built together, you get excellent thermal performance and airtightness without lots of extra layers or complicated detailing.

For you as a self builder, that means a home that’s more comfortable to live in, easier to heat and built from materials that feel robust and long-lasting. It’s a modern method of construction, but once you understand the basics, it’s very manageable as part of a well-planned project.

How we support your self build

We’re here to help you make informed decisions and keep the ICF element under control. At the planning stage we can talk you and your designer through suitable wall build-ups, overall wall thicknesses and what that means for room sizes, performance and finishes. As your drawings develop, we’ll help you select the right blocks for your design, explain what your engineer and builder need to know, and provide product information for building control and warranty providers.

As you move towards site, we give clear, practical guidance on what’s involved in building with ICF so you can brief your contractor or chosen team with confidence. Throughout the process you have a named contact at Insubloc you can speak to when questions crop up, so the ICF part of your self build feels supported rather than daunting. If you’re considering ICF for your new home, share your plans with us and we’ll talk you through how it could work for your project.
