I watched the video about the termites... not impressed. Obviously people in the area are using ICFs (which are a little different from prefabricated panels anyway)- and still getting building department approvals... so a call to the local building office to ask would be the smart approach rather than just to assume that it can't be done. Just because one company couldn't do it doesn't mean that no companies can.

Concrete (formed or block) is simply a superior building material when considering resistance to termites.
- ensignavenger 3y agoThanks, that is a much better source. It gives several methods, two of which are already in the building codes, to combat termites with ICFs.
