Wanted to give attention to a not much publicized service we offer with education and field training service when building with ICFs. These support mechanisms offered to our customers have proven to be invaluable over the years, and are things that truly set us apart from the competition and from other industry products. We have always been and will always be the source for ICF innovation, research, and field support.
If you are looking to start building with ICFs or already have ICF construction in mind, we offer on site consultation and field training, along with an education course to get you and your team familiar with insulated concrete forms.
Onsite Training
Reward Wall Systems, Inc requires all new customers who are building with insulating concrete form for the first time to sign up for onsite training. When it comes time to build your ICF project, an experienced Reward building consultant (if you’re lucky it will be Darryl U!) will come directly to you jobsite for up t three days to offer guidance and advice for you and your crew. The Reward trainer is prepared to show you all the steps for correctly and efficiently installing forms and placing concrete.
Cost
The standard onsite training package has a small nominal fee for a three day session. This fee is to cover costs for our ICF trainer’s travel and food expenses. All training can be customized to meet varying needs, based on the scope of the project. Whether you prefer onsite help with the footings to the ceiling, or just want an onsite specialist on hand for the initial concrete pour- our trainers are ready help.
What is included?
Pre-construction consultation - Once you have scheduled your training, the Reward trainer will call you to be sure you have the proper tools and that the site is prepared to make the best use of his time upon arrival. Discussion will be made on if there are any specific areas of attention for our trainer to prepare for.
Onsite training - The Reward trainer will teach you and your crew proper and efficient installation techniques throughout the wall installation process including:
- Stacking forms

Post-Construction follow up – After the jobsite training has been completed, the Reward trainer and all of our support staff will be available to answer further questions by telephone and e-mail until your project is finished.
