Direct Answer: Blue Green Building Concepts is the authorized stocking distributor for Element ICF in Massachusetts. Because we are builders first, we understand that "out of stock" means "out of business." We keep inventory on the ground so you don't have to wait.
This is part of our Builder's Business Guide to ICF.
You have excavated the hole. The crushed stone is compacted. The rebar is delivered.
You call the lumber yard for your ICF blocks.
"Sorry, that's a special order. It'll be here in 3 weeks."
Your schedule is dead. Your crew goes to another job. The hole fills with rain.
The Problem with "Special Order" Supply Houses
Big box stores and general lumber yards treat ICF like a niche product. They don't want to give up warehouse space for big bundles of foam.
So they "drop ship" it.
1. High Shipping Costs: You pay for a dedicated truck from the factory (often in Canada or the Midwest) even if you only need half a truckload.
2. No Tech Support: The sales guy sells 2x4s and drywall. He doesn't know what a "taper top" block is.
3. Returns: If you order too much, they won't take it back.
The Blue Green Advantage: We Are the Warehouse
We are an Installer-Distributor. We use Element ICF every day on our own projects, so we have to keep it in stock.
* Regional Inventory: We keep 6" and 8" cores, 90-degree corners, and 45-degree corners in our local yard.
* Split Loads: Need 50 blocks? Come get them. Need 500? We'll deliver.
* The "Rescue Run": Every builder eventually miscounts. If you are 5 blocks short on pour day, a lumber yard can't help you. We can. Drive to our yard, throw 5 blocks in your pickup, and finish the job.
What is Element ICF?
We distribute Element ICF because after 20 years of building, it is the most contractor-friendly block we've found.
* Strongest Webs: The plastic webs (ties) are heavy-duty injection molded. They don't snap in cold weather.
* Reversible Interlock: You don't have to hunt for a "left" or "right" corner. The blocks are reversible, reducing waste.
* Price: It is competitively priced against Nudura, Fox Blocks, and Logix, but with better local availability.
Pricing Tiers
We offer three pricing tiers:
1. Retail (One-Off): For the DIYer building a single garage or addition.
2. Contractor (Repeat): For builders who do 2-3 foundations a year.
3. Dealer (Volume): For large developers or lumber yards reselling our product.
