ICF Homes of Virginia, LLC Fredericksburg, Virginia

David Phelps (Dave), President, grew up in Roanoke, Virginia, and enjoys getting back to the Blue Ridge Mountains. He graduated college from the Virginia Military Institute with a major in Physics. In 2004, Dave decided to build his own home and did extensive research on the various building technologies. He determined that Insulated Concrete Form (ICF) was the best way to build a home. He recognized the geothermal dynamic benefits of concrete walls encapsulated in insulation and the strength of the walls to wind loads. Dave realized there was a need in the residential construction market for stronger and more efficient homes so he started his custom ICF home building company. It has become Dave’s passion to build safe, sustainable, and beautiful homes for his clients. He still questions, “why are we still building homes out of wood?” His personal ICF home is net zero (produces as much energy as it consumes) and has photovoltaic “solar” panels and thermal hot water collectors on the roof. If you are passionate about building a high-performance net zero home that is safe, sustainable, and beautiful, an ICF home should be at the top of your list. He is a past President of the Fredericksburg Area Builders Association (FABA) and has been on the board of directors for ten years. Dave was honored with the 2020 Best Concrete Homes in North America award for one of his custom design-built homes.
