We've already mentioned the difference in labor force required to put up different assemblies. With ICFs, fewer people install more components of a better wall assembly in one simple step. Part of the reason for that is an integrated bracing and scaffolding system. Take a look at these pictures which show how much work space remains with ICF scaffolding in place, compared to traditional scaffolding required for other assemblies. Because only nine pound blocks are installed from ICF scaffolding, and, at most, 20 foot lengths of rebar, a more streamlined system meets needs.
Here you can see even tall wall ICF bracing in place. Traditional scaffolding pieces on the ground are about to be assembled.
This photo and the next one compare up close the difference in complexity of the two systems. It saves a lot of time and labor utilizing ICF bracing.
Compare this shot to the first one.
