Otten Contracting builds with resources that deliver energy efficiency and environmentally responsible residential and commercial structures. We widely promote the use of ICF (Insulated Concrete Forms). ICFs are forms for poured concrete walls that stay in place as a permanent part of the wall assembly. ICFs are left in place to provide continuous insulation and sound barrier. An ICF home will provide you with lower energy bills, lower maintenance, and a home that's healthier to live in and easier on the environment.

Not only ICF but all products selected for your structure will help minimize the use of energy in the building. Energy efficiency is achieved through intelligent design decisions, insulating and air sealing, and choosing efficient HVAC, lighting, windows, and appliances.

Building Green/Energy Efficient doesn't have to cost you more. Smart choices can pay off immediately with substantially reduced utility bills. There are also federal tax credits and mortgages savings benefits available to you to help make building a green home more affordable. You have to look at the long run when building a sustainable structure.

So whether you're looking for a contractor to build your home from start to finish or you're a contractor needing someone to work with you on an ICF project give us a call. We're happy to help you with the green building process.
