ICFs & SIP Houses

Energy-Efficient, Durable, and Built for the Long Run

At JD Powell Construction, we specialize in building high-performance homes using advanced materials like Insulated Concrete Forms (ICFs) and Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs). These cutting-edge building systems offer exceptional energy efficiency, structural strength, and long-term value—perfect for homeowners looking to invest in smarter, more sustainable construction.

ICF Construction involves stacked, interlocking forms filled with reinforced concrete, creating a super-insulated wall that’s quiet, airtight, and incredibly strong. ICF homes are known for superior temperature regulation, storm resistance, and low energy bills. They're ideal for Wisconsin’s climate, offering year-round comfort with minimal heating and cooling needs.

SIP Construction uses pre-manufactured panels made of rigid foam insulation sandwiched between OSB sheathing. SIPs are used for walls, roofs, and floors, offering faster installation times and outstanding insulation performance. They reduce thermal bridging and air leakage, making your home tighter and more efficient from day one.

We have experience designing and building homes with both systems, and we’ll help you choose the right approach based on your budget, goals, and site requirements. Whether you want a modern energy-efficient build or a zero-entry, aging-in-place design, we’ll make sure your home is as smart as it is beautiful.

We proudly serve Holmen, La Crosse, and surrounding communities with high-performance home construction that combines modern building science with craftsmanship you can trust.
