Structural Integrity Verification Of New Nudura ICF House Construction In SouthEastern Michigan -- ANAND Enterprises Project BelG1J1401ygs

New ICF House

This is a ranch (no basement) with a wrap around veranda ICF house using Nudura block. I met with the installer Jake and his crew at the job site on Aug-05-2014. I had reviewed the drawings earlier submitted to me by the builder Gregory. 

The purpose of the visit was mainly to check that this ICF house as being built is structurally sound and will be able to carry all the intended dead and live loads (including wind loads) safely and securely. At the time of my visit work was progressing well -- great workmanship -- erection of the ICF forms for the walls was nearing completion for readiness of concrete pour the week of Sep-08-2014. 

In the following I present some pictures that I had taken during my field visit -- the pictures are presented in the order in which they were taken.
