Yes, it is a safer build with than timber frame being at least 8.5 times stronger. This means that they perform better where there is a likelihood of severe weather such as earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes and gales. If a fire should start icfs have up to a 4 hour fire rating. There are no toxic emissions, unlike timber frame which has to have toxic and carcinogenic substances painted on it!
