The ICF industry finally has a unified voice. We joined WICFA from day one because growing this industry together is the only way to raise every boat.
The World Insulated Concrete Form Association (WICFA) is the first unified, nonprofit trade association representing the entire ICF ecosystem — from installers, builders, and engineers to distributors, manufacturers, and suppliers.
Founded by Trevor Brown and Heather Herring Brown of the Build With ICF podcast, WICFA is officially formed as a 501(c)(6) nonprofit, modeled after the National Association of Home Builders. It's built by industry professionals, for industry professionals.
With the ICF industry reaching into over 100 countries and growing demand driven by disaster resilience, energy efficiency, and affordability, the time for a unified industry voice is now.
"The World Insulated Concrete Form Association was created to support and grow the ICF industry through meaningful collaboration, education, and advocacy." — WICFA Mission Statement
Amplifying ICF's story in disaster-resilient housing conversations and national media — CNN, Fox News, CNBC. When the next natural disaster hits, WICFA will be there showing why ICF is the answer.
Working with Capitol Hill lobbyists, state legislators, and insurance industry advocates to make ICF construction the standard for resilient, affordable, and insurable homes across the country.
Launching WICFA-certified installer training with cross-brand reciprocity, continuing education credits for architects and engineers, and monthly webinars for members.
Building one sandbox where every ICF professional — installer, distributor, manufacturer, or supplier — plays well together. No trash-talking. Rising tide, rising boats.
"I believe 100% that there are people who will get into the ICF industry in 2026 that will be considered pioneers twenty years from now. We are literally on the cusp of this."— Trevor Brown, WICFA Co-Founder & Build With ICF Podcast
WICFA has opened brand-new community forums, including a dedicated DIY ICF Forum. We know how much reliable, real-world information matters when you're planning or building an ICF project — whether you're an owner-builder, a contractor, or a homeowner still exploring your options.
Connect directly with trusted industry professionals and manufacturers — not a sales team.
Education, tips, and field-tested best practices, with a strict focus on real learning — not sales pitches.
Find upcoming installer trainings, site visits, and industry events on the WICFA Public Calendar.
We built ICF Near Me to be the neutral, contractor-side of the ICF industry — the place homeowners go when they need a vetted installer, not a manufacturer's sales funnel. WICFA is doing the same work at the association level: one directory, one certification standard, one advocacy voice instead of a dozen competing ones. That's why we joined as a founding supporter instead of waiting to see how it played out.
Whether you're a seasoned ICF contractor, a manufacturer building a team, or a first-time DIY builder — there's a membership level designed for where you are in the industry.
For homeowners and DIY builders entering the ICF world. One seat, no annual commitment.
For ICF builders, installers, distributors, engineers, and suppliers. Up to 5 seats.
For ICF block manufacturers with multiple territory managers and technical support staff. Up to 25 seats.
A limited number of sponsorship seats are currently open for manufacturers and suppliers who want top-tier visibility across WICFA's materials, events, and website.

WICFA (World Insulated Concrete Form Association) is a 501(c)(6) nonprofit trade association representing the entire ICF industry — installers, builders, engineers, distributors, manufacturers, and suppliers. It was founded by Trevor Brown and Heather Herring Brown of the Build With ICF podcast and is modeled after the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), with which it's affiliated.
WICFA offers three membership tiers: DIY & Enthusiast at $100 per quarter (1 seat), Professional Member at $500 per year (up to 5 seats), and Manufacturer at $2,500 per year (up to 25 seats). All memberships are tax-deductible under WICFA's 501(c)(6) status.
Anyone connected to the ICF industry can join — homeowners and DIY builders, contractors and installers, distributors and suppliers, and ICF block manufacturers. Each tier is scoped to that audience, from a single DIY seat up to a 25-seat manufacturer team membership.
ICF Near Me is a founding early supporter of WICFA, not the association itself. We're a manufacturer-neutral ICF contractor directory that joined WICFA from day one because a unified industry voice benefits every homeowner and contractor who uses our site. For official membership, join directly at WICFA.org.
In 2026, WICFA launched community forums, including a dedicated DIY ICF Forum, where owner-builders, contractors, and homeowners can ask questions, learn from installer trainings and best practices, and find upcoming events on the WICFA Public Calendar.
WICFA sponsorship tiers — Concrete ($5,000/year, limited to 2 seats), Gold ($2,500/year, 4 slots), and Silver ($1,000/year, 10 slots) — are open for manufacturers and suppliers seeking top-tier visibility. Contact WICFA directly at WICFA.org to reserve your seat today.
Join ICF Near Me as a supporter of WICFA. Together, we're building stronger homes, a stronger industry, and a stronger voice for ICF construction across the country.
