KO Builders - Leaders in Insulated Concrete Form Construction

KO Builders is Central Ohio's leader in Insulated Concrete Form (ICF) construction. Using Nuform Building Technology, we deliver durable, energy-efficient, and environmentally conscious structures for residential, commercial, institutional, and industrial projects.

What Is ICF Construction?

Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF) are hollow foam blocks that stack like building blocks, get filled with concrete, and are reinforced with rebar. The result is a structure that is stronger, more energy-efficient, and more durable than traditional construction methods. KO Builders uses Nuform Building Technology, which incorporates R3 Technology (Recycle, Reuse, Repurpose) for environmentally responsible production.
