"

My wife and I have used K. Graber Construction on several projects including adding a large addition to our old home in 2007 and most recently building a "pole barn" home in 2018-2019. We have always found Kenny to be very courteous, patient, and extremely professional. We also appreciate his honesty, integrity, and willingness to go the extra mile for his customer. It is always a refreshing experience for us when working with him."

K. Graber and his crew did me a magnificent job on my " pole barn " home . This was something I had been wanting to do for a long time but just couldn't pull the trigger . on day I decided it was now or never and started calling contractors to meet with and decide. After meeting with Kenny I knew if I was going to do this he was the one. I pulled that trigger , and Kenny and his crew put my dream together."

ICF Construction FAQs

What Is
Insualted Concrete Form Construction (ICF)?

Similar to poured concrete walls, ICF construction uses the concept of setting up concrete forms and then filling the forms with concrete.

The forms used in ICF construction, however, are hollow blocks made of rigid thermal insulation.  

These blocks securely interlock with each other.  When the forms are completed with ICF blocks, concrete is poured and allowed to dry.

Unlike poured concrete walls, the block forms are not removed after the concrete has dried.  Instead, the ICF blocks remain and help provide insulation.  

To finish the construction process, plumbing and electrical parts are typically placed in the insulating blocks.  The final layer is then placed on the interior and exterior.

The final interior and exterior layers are attached to the ICF blocks.  Because of the block construction, the final touches can be made to look similar to typical construction.

The poured concrete wall sandwiched between the ICF blocks provides the long-term durability, stability, and efficiency that Insulated Concrete Form construction is famous for.

History of Cass County

Cass County, located in the southwestern part of Michigan, was established in 1829 and named after Lewis Cass, the territorial governor of Michigan. The county seat is Cassopolis. Early settlers were attracted to the area by its fertile soil and abundant water sources. The arrival of the railroad in the mid-19th century spurred economic growth and development. Cass County has a rich history that includes a significant role in the Underground Railroad, helping many escaped slaves find freedom. Today, the county is a blend of agricultural heritage and modern amenities, offering a vibrant community and a high quality of life.
