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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is ICF construction and how does it work?
Insulated Concrete Form (ICF) construction uses hollow foam blocks that stack like building blocks, are filled with concrete, and reinforced with rebar. This creates a monolithic concrete wall with built-in insulation on both sides, resulting in structures that are significantly stronger, more energy-efficient, and more durable than traditional wood-frame or block construction.
What areas does KO Builders serve?
KO Builders currently concentrates on building projects in Central Ohio, based out of our Columbus, OH headquarters at 1554 Polaris Pkwy Suite 325, Columbus, OH 43240. The innovative construction techniques we are developing could very soon have international scope.
What types of projects does KO Builders handle?
KO Builders handles residential projects (apartments, assisted living, custom homes, renovations), commercial projects (data centers, malls, offices, restaurants), institutional projects (hospitals, churches, military, government), and industrial projects (automotive, distribution, food processing, manufacturing).
