Приєднався 26 сер 2009
Fab-Form Industries is dedicated to improving the interface between the ground and the building structure. Since 1986 Fab-Form has been producing products that make this interface faster and more efficient. Their first product, Fastfoot, uses fabric to form the footings - so that the fabric adjusts perfectly to the uneven ground.
Since Fastfoot, the company has developed a fabric based column form that takes up only 1% of the space and 10% of the price of cardboard forms. The company has also developed a Monopour system which allows the concrete wall and fabric footing to be poured at the same time.

Switching out Sonotubes for Fast-Tube
Nick from Novamax Contracting details how, and more importantly why, they had to switch from cardboard Sonotube to Fast-Tube. Four 10' X 10" Sonotubes were all set up for concrete placement, when an inspection was missed. This led to a weekend delay, where rain caused the Sonotubes to fail. Begrudgingly they opted to switch over to Fast-Tube, and the rest is history.

Im juat about to pour footers for my new house. Im so glad i saw this. I think it would be less cost than wood forms. And easier to do.
VDG** Construction
Thanks for catching that guys!
Will this work with structural metal stud too? I’m planning to frame the inside walls with metal studs..
Yes it will. We have church builders in Austin that do just that. Where the plastic cam hits the vertical stud they place two layers of duct tape on the stud so the plastic cam can "bite" into it.
Really impressive but where can you build the footer on-grade? Looks like Canada where the footer should be 4’ below grade on undisturbed soil due to freeze/thaw cycles and heaving.
I don't understand all of it.
You said you was going green.Why didn't you build the whole house out of ICF. It would have been more energy efficient
Супер идея 💡
Where did the names "Zont/Zuckle etc" come from? what do the actually mean? Are they made up?
They all come from this being the only horiZONTal ICF bracing system.
How is the home? What did you think about the helix?
Где можно купить?
I hope these are available for residential projects.
That is our bread and butter
I'm sure an ordinary rebar cage imbedded in the footing could be accommodated with sufficient diameter/clearance. Like all ads, things are simplified
Здравствуйте уважаемый а где можно купить?
shop.fab-form.com/shop/fast-tube-25#attr=61
We are working on distribution right now. What country are you in?
@@FabFormIndustries Hello we are located in Russia
Obviously they didn’t watch a video before hand … 😮
We used the traditional ICF bracing with our elaborate cliffside build and it was the biggest and most complicated pain in the ass. These are a total game changer.
Everything has its place, but we think this cost effective solution is great for so many ICF builds out there
Hats off to Mike and his crew. Incredible sense of humor!!! 😄😄😄
Live and learn.
Great video
Helix only claim a twenty year life for concrete with their rebar. What happens when the micro rebar rusts out in your damp climate?
Kinda sounds like a puppet too, go figure
P R O M O S M
Is there a limit on how high you can go? I’m looking to go 16 feet high
It depends on the diameter of the column, but for most sizes no issues with 16' columns. See here; www.fab-form.com/fast-tube/fast-tubeSpecifications.php
Fantastic product!
noice
Metal bracing is way faster
10x the cost
I can build this way quicker with cement blocks, no problem
then you have to insulate the cement blocks after
It's slow and not what it's cracked up to be, I think I could lay the foundation out of cement block a lot quicker
Have you used the system before? Its implied that you have when you say; its slow and not what its cracked up to be. Then you say you "think" you could lay a foundation out of CMU faster? Which one is it big guy? Pretty conflicting comments there.....
There is a lot of waste with ICF, I bet the green people would love to see the landfills
You did not show all the recommended screws that go into this system, just completed a couple of huge foundations, so I know, plus stepping over the zuckles, trip hazard, but I do like the zuckles adjustment
That is no good, there's a lot they don't show you, don't believe it
I love a good troll. What isn't good about it big guy? Its a perfect system for a nice simple build. Can you provide any examples where this system hasn't worked?
Seems like a good product and a good company if they are sponsoring the project. +++
After leveling ((or zeveling?), I would tape around the threads of the zeveler before foaming and pouring concrete. That would make clean up of the zeveler easier to use on the next project.

And what is the point of this 30 second video????????
To get you stoked to use the product Robert! Looks like it worked, Kris here said you have been emailing about Zont bracing....
These guys don't mess around. If I were in their area I know who I'd be looking up.
They are always busy for obvious reasons!
I would be terrified about having a blowout
its not going to blow out, I used this ... its so clean and nice.
Awesome!
I'm sure this monopour install is practical in some instances, however after building foundations with ICF's since 1999, I'm not sold yet. Certainly not here in the high rockies of Colorado where almost every foundation has multiple footing elevation steps. How would these blocks work on a hillside foundation construct especially when the county requires the steps to "waterfall", as in continuous? Maybe it's that I'm am just an old geezer set in my ways, but I am always interested in new construction techniques.
Not at all! This system is definitely not for every build and not for every contractor. For the Monopour you want a relatively small layout, with a simple design and level excavation. For builds with multiple steps, corners, t's and jogs we would recommend pouring your footings first with Fastfoot and then stacking blocks. Give your old Geezer mind a break will ya! Thanks for your input.
My biggest concern is the flexibility of the 2x4. Quality of the 2x4 could easily become an issue as well.
We have been using 2x4 material for forming concrete for over a hundred years in North America. Yes bowing lumber is not ideal for the horizontal and vertical lumber. But keep in mind, we don't care if our wood is straight, just our ICF walls. As long as we have adjustability every 5' with the Zuckle, we can easilly make any ICF wall straight as an arrow!
@@FabFormIndustries What a dumbass answer.
Gostaria do contato de vcs..
where can you get the zevelers?
We are just working on our online store and website. Right now you can just give us a call or send us an email 888-303-3278 joey@fab-form.com
Neat to watch. I'm baffled by that laser level, how on earth does it work? Seems like it'd need a reference point to bounce the light off of.
The receiver catches the laser beam
Maybe you and your viewers might look into geopolimer concrete.
Fabform products are great. Too bad Nudura is pricing itself out of the market.
what adhesive is used?
That is just a low expansion spray foam

Hey Greg, I am looking into the Helix Mirco Rebar. I'm interested now that it has been over some time, How is the foundation holding up? Have you seen any issues with using the Mirco Rebar?
What's the lifespan of that Helix inside the concrete?
it would last as long as the concrete......

Do you need to brace the outside
You just need to brace one side of an ICF wall
Hi. 😊 How many inches can these make up? We have an existing slab that’s in great condition, but was poured by previous owners to park an RV, at an intentional slight slope, to shed water in a specific direction. We want to put up a smallish ICF building on that slab and this looks like an easier solution than sawing the bottom of the blocks, but it’s approximately 4 inches lower from one side to the other. Can these make up that much difference?
You would get a maximum of 4.5" of travel from a 0" position
A little bit of a product specific detailed question I'm looking at using quad lock it's first course sits on a metal channel, the metal channel would interfere with the fast footing foot, curious if you would think the fast footing foot just sit on the outside of the ICF and screws through the metal channel at the bottom, and then the plastic fastener would that be a problem it's just not flush. 14:29 with the wood strip going all the way around the base in my situation what I probably would do is take another wood strip and put it between the fast footing legs and another fast footing leg so that this wooo strip and plastic would all be flush around the exterior. Yet with as efficient as you guys are looking for your thoughts and a possible another solution Additional question, have you used ICF the fast footing with steps in it I don't mean walking steps I'm talking change of grade around the foundation perimeter and do you think it works well if you have
long story short, our Monopour system does not work with Quadlock. You need an ICF where the plastic ties are embedded into the ICF itself. Depending on the height of the ICF wall you can go this route; vancouvericf.com/mpStakedOverview Yes no issue with steps, it just needs to be a multiple of the height of the ICF blocks you are using; www.fab-form.com/fastfootMp/ecoHeritage.php
@@FabFormIndustries first of all, I want to thank you, well, you said something in your comment that really helped me out and make me further process this, talking about the plastic ties are in bedded. Quad lock does make that I found out yesterday it's called FS you have to request it and typically their website says around areas where you need additional nailer's. After sending this request/question to you, I did find this link always looking for additional thoughts, especially from experts, like yourself and people that take the time to share knowledge like yourself I commend anyone that shares knowledge thank you again so much. this video and link if from 12 years ago from what I can figure out. Even though they don't have the embedded tie, they put ties at the bottom so you could screw the legs into. I was trying to figure this all out. Still don't know if it works well. Yeah it looks like it works in the fast foot video. www.fab-form.com/fastfootMp/fastfootMpProjectHh.php
@@MartyHuie That was the first Monopour we did, and we would not do it again. Unlike every ICF out there, you must make your own corners instead of a machine doing it for pennies on the dollar. You must glue your bottom ties into the ICF, so that they do not pop out from the block until you attach your Fastfoot at the end of the build. It can be done, if Quadlock is your only option in your local market. Or you can go something like this method; vancouvericf.com/mpStakedOverview
