$HTSC Novus has scheduled training sessions for 30 contractors next month to instruct them how to build ICF structures. Contractors can buy construction plans and the ICF building blocks from Novus. When a home is built, it is a simple process to install sheetrock on the inside and stone, brick, or other siding materials on the outside.

"Every time I mention ICF to contractors, they ask me why anyone in California would build with wood," continued Herrera. "We believe we are well on our way to introducing revolutionary construction technology that is earthquake, fire, noise, pollution and water resistant, and we are pleased with the reception we have received from several contractors that are eager to move forward with us."
