ICF House Plans: Proven Designs, Built to Permit on Your Lot
Building with ICF is a smart call for energy efficiency, durability, and long-term savings. Over the years we have built dozens of ICF homes, and a handful of designs became clear customer favourites – so we turned them into a proven plan collection. Pick one of the eleven plans below, or describe a custom home, and we will produce your full ICF building permit drawings and price the build on your lot. You fill out one short form; we call you back and get to work.
The “Country Living” ICF plan collection
These are homes we have actually built over our career, shown here to give you a general idea of what can be built with ICF and roughly what it costs – each plan’s detail page includes the price to build it on your lot. The Springwood is our number-one seller (built more than 40 times) and the Ravenswood is a close favourite (built over 20 times). Every plan is fully customizable – we can add a basement, garage, loft, or accessibility features, or adjust the layout to suit your site.
You are not limited to these 11. Think of them as a starting point. Through the form below we can produce building permit drawings for any regular ICF plan you like – one of ours, one you already have, or a custom design – for approximately $1.99 per square foot. Just fill out the form and we will call you back to get started.
An efficient, cozy country bungalow-scale plan – a great fit for a first home, downsize, or compact lot.
A comfortable, well-proportioned country plan with room to live – efficient to build and easy to heat.
A classic country layout at a popular, practical size – clean lines that keep the ICF build cost-efficient.
Our most-built plan – constructed more than 40 times. A proven, family-friendly country design that homeowners keep choosing.
A roomier country plan with space for a growing family – still simple enough to keep the ICF shell efficient.
Built over 20 times – the perfect blend of classic country charm and modern efficiency. A long-standing favourite.
A spacious family home at a very popular size – the sweet spot for many Ontario custom builds.
A generous family plan with room for everyone – well suited to a fuller program of bedrooms and living space.
A larger executive country home – space, comfort, and the full performance of an ICF envelope.
An expansive luxury plan for those who want room to spread out, with ICF comfort and quiet throughout.
Our largest plan – a true estate-scale country home, built to the same high-performance ICF standard.
Have a plan you love, or an idea on a napkin? We will make it ICF-ready and produce the permit drawings – any size, any style.
Tip: “View plan + price to build” opens each design’s detail page with the cost to build it on your lot. “Request this plan” drops it straight into the form below so we can produce your ICF building permit drawings.
You’re on the list!
Thanks – we will call you within one business day to talk through your plan and produce your ICF building permit drawings.
Why these ICF plans are so popular
- Tested and loved by homeowners. These are not concept drawings - they have been built repeatedly across Ontario, proving their layouts work in real life.
- Designed for performance. Every plan suits the ICF system: superior insulation, an airtight envelope, and the strength, quiet, and comfort ICF is known for.
- Fully customizable. We can modify any plan - add a basement, garage, loft, or accessibility features, change the layout, or adapt it to a sloped or waterfront lot.
- Priced to build on your lot. Each plan's detail page shows the cost to build, so you can compare designs against your budget before you commit.

Choosing or adapting an ICF plan
There are two good ways to use a plan: start with one of ours and modify it for your lot, or bring a plan you already love and we make it ICF-ready. Either way, "ICF plan" does not automatically mean "Ontario-ready" until the details are checked - wall thickness shifts your dimensions, floors should stack for clean load paths, openings need to land on the block module, and basements need a real water-management strategy. We sort all of that when we produce your permit drawings. The single biggest budget tip: keep the building shape simple - ICF loves clean runs, and lots of little offsets add cost. The full design checklist is in building with insulated concrete forms, and the build order is in ICF home building.
What you get: a full set of ICF building permit drawings for your chosen (or custom) plan, made Ontario-ready and coordinated with the ICF system, plus the price to build it on your lot. Start with the form above - we call you back and get to work.
Building new? Lock in the HST rebate too
While we produce your plans, get your rebate sorted: a new home in Ontario qualifies for the enhanced HST rebate - up to $130,000 back - if your build contract is signed (or your own build started) before the deadline.
You Could Lose Up To $106,000 If You Don't Start Before April 2027
Ontario's enhanced HST rebate puts up to $130,000 back in a new-home builder's pocket - but only if your build contract is signed (or your own build started) before April 1, 2027. Miss that window and you fall back to the standard $24,000 rebate. On a typical custom build, that is a six-figure swing - so it belongs in your budget from day one.
Estimate based on Ontario's 2026 enhanced HST rebate (Bill 114). Final eligibility for a custom / owner-built home is confirmed by a licensed rebate specialist - that's what the free check is for. Full HST rebate details
The enhanced HST rebate applies to new home construction. Final eligibility is confirmed by a licensed rebate specialist - use the HST rebate calculator to check your number, and the 2026 OBC guide and Code Navigator for code questions.

Frequently asked questions
Can I get ICF building permit plans made for me, and what does it cost?
Yes - that is exactly what we do. Pick one of our eleven plans or describe a custom home, fill out the request form on this page, and we call you back (usually within one business day) to produce your full ICF building permit drawings, made Ontario-ready and coordinated with the ICF system. We can produce any regular ICF plan for approximately $1.99 per square foot, and we also price the build on your lot. The eleven plans shown are homes we have built over our career - they give you a general idea of what is possible and what it costs, not a limited menu.
What are your most popular ICF house plans?
The Springwood (1,600 sq ft) is our number-one seller, built more than 40 times, and the Ravenswood (1,850 sq ft) is a close favourite, built over 20 times. The full Country Living collection runs from the 1,300 sq ft Granary up to the 3,500 sq ft Oaklands, so there is a proven layout for most family sizes and budgets. Every one is customizable.
Can you modify a plan to suit my lot and needs?
Absolutely. We can add a basement, garage, loft, or accessibility features, change the layout, or adapt a plan to a sloped or waterfront lot. Most clients start with a plan they like and we adjust it. Tell us what you would change in the notes field of the request form, and we will factor it into the permit drawings and the build price.
Can you turn a plan I already have into an ICF home?
Yes. Bring a plan you love - even a rough sketch - and we will make it ICF-ready: wall thickness adjusted, dimensions and openings aligned to the block module, floors checked for clean load paths, and the basement detailed for water management. Then we produce the permit drawings. "ICF plan" is not automatically Ontario-ready until those details are checked, which is part of what we do.
Do the plans include the cost to build?
Yes - each plan's detail page shows the price to build it on your lot, so you can compare designs against your budget before deciding. For broader budgeting, our ICF foundation cost guide and ICF cost calculator give you ranges, and when we produce your permit drawings we provide a build price specific to your plan and site.
What size of ICF home should I build?
It depends on your family, lot, and budget - our collection spans 1,300 to 3,500 sq ft to cover most needs. Bungalow-scale plans (1,300 to 1,800) are efficient and accessible; mid-size plans (2,000 to 2,500) suit growing families; larger plans (3,000 to 3,500) are executive-scale. A simple, clean building shape keeps any size cost-efficient in ICF. If you are unsure, choose "help me choose" on the form and we will guide you.
Are bungalows or two-storey homes better for ICF?
Both work well. Bungalows are simple and accessible, and the straightforward structure keeps the ICF build efficient. Two-storey plans put more home on a smaller footprint, which suits tighter lots, and a clean two-storey rectangle is one of the most cost-efficient ICF shapes. If your lot slopes, a bungalow with a walkout basement can add bright, usable living space. We will recommend the best fit for your site.
How long does it take to get my ICF plans?
It varies with the plan and how much customization is involved, but starting from one of our proven designs is far faster than a from-scratch custom design. After you submit the form we call you back within about one business day to scope the work and timeline. Choosing a plan you can adapt - rather than designing from a blank page - is usually the quickest route to permit-ready drawings.
Do you build the home too, or only the plans?
Both. We produce the ICF building permit drawings and we build ICF homes across Simcoe County and the Georgian Bay area - certified, Tarion-backed - so you can take the plans to your own builder or have us construct the home start to finish. Tell us which you prefer when we call, and we will tailor the package to suit.
Is there a cost or obligation to request plans?
No - submitting the request form costs nothing and commits you to nothing. We call you back to understand what you want, answer your questions, and explain what producing your ICF permit drawings would involve and cost. You decide whether to proceed from there. It is simply the fastest way to get a real, expert answer about your specific plan and lot.
Note: square footages and plan details are approximate and customizable. Final drawings, structural details, and the build price depend on your design choices and site, and are confirmed when we produce your permit set. This page is general information for Ontario - confirm permit requirements with your municipality and the Ontario Building Code.
