I've been awarded a new contract for a concrete house.
The system is a poly steel company that uses foam, and the concrete is poured inside the foam block. The foam is used at the insulation AND the stud in which to put the drywall on. It's supposed to provide the ultimate in insulation (but don't ever look for an upgrade!)
Anyone work on this type of thing before? :-?
I talked to several "peers" and they told me my price was low.... funny, because I was the high bidder by nearly 30%. The homeowner said he felt like he could trust me... and I would not lower my number. (Still got the job) :grin:
I am curious on how to get my boxes in the insulation. I cut some back, and an 18cu in box stuck out 3/4". Then, how do I get them to stay? Hilti shot to a plastic box?
Thanks
