ICF Homes: What Builders Get Wrong (and How to Do It Right) | Royal & John ft. Robert Klob

In this episode of Build Better Homes, Royal and John sit down with ICF expert Robert Klob, a designer with over 40 years of experience in residential and commercial construction. Robert specializes exclusively in insulated concrete form (ICF) home design and has reviewed, designed, or consulted on hundreds of projects across the country.

Robert used to hate the product. After two disastrous projects in the 90s, he vowed never to touch it again. So, what changed his mind?

It took a cold beer and a challenge to bring him back in, but the real change came from his clients. Robert shares a powerful story of an ICF home he designed in the Florida Keys that survived a Category 5 hurricane with only $5,000 in damage, while a multi-million dollar resort across the street was totally destroyed.

ICF is an all-in-one system that creates homes that are safer, more energy-efficient, and simply better for the people who live in them. But as Robert and John discuss, the product is only as good as the person designing it. Learn how proper design can save you thousands and why hiring an expert is always worth the investment.
