The IC wall system consists of a core of expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam insulation, which is surrounded by galvanized wire mesh. This core is then encased in pneumatically applied reinforced concrete, known as shotcrete. This innovative construction technology utilizes an integrated "systems approach" which offers significant advantages over conventional construction technique. The IC walls are backed by over 25 years of research development, field use, engineering and construction around the world.

The motive behind the inception of ICH, Inc is the need for alternate construction in the residential home building market. Also to address the concerns of raising energy cost for the home buyer.
