If you're planning to build with insulated concrete forms (ICF) in Texas, finding a reliable supplier is your first critical step. Unlike traditional lumber that's available at any big-box store, ICF blocks require an authorized distributor who can provide the right products, technical support, and training to ensure your project succeeds.
This guide covers everything you need to know about buying ICF blocks in Texas — from where to find distributors to what questions to ask before placing your order.

How to Order ICF Blocks
Ordering ICF is different from picking up lumber at a hardware store. Here's the typical process:
1. Get Your Plans Ready
Before requesting a quote, you'll need architectural plans or at least basic dimensions — wall heights, total linear feet, window/door openings, and core thickness requirements. This allows us to calculate the exact number of forms you'll need.
2. Request a Quote
Contact us with your project details. We'll provide a comprehensive quote including:
- ICF forms (straight, corners, specialty shapes)
- Bracing and alignment system rental or purchase
- Recommended accessories
- Delivery to your job site
3. Schedule Delivery
ICF blocks are lightweight but bulky. We coordinate delivery timing with your construction schedule so materials arrive when you need them — not too early (taking up space) or too late (causing delays).
4. Get Training
Free contractor training is included with qualifying orders. Even experienced builders benefit from ICF-specific instruction on stacking techniques, bracing requirements, and pour procedures.

Not all ICF distributors are equal. Before committing to a supplier, ask these questions:
| Question | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Are you an authorized distributor? | Authorized distributors have direct manufacturer support and can honor warranties |
| Do you offer contractor training? | Proper installation is critical — training prevents costly mistakes |
| What's your delivery radius? | Delivery costs add up; local distributors save money |
| Can you help with takeoffs? | Accurate material calculations prevent shortages and overages |
| Do you stock accessories? | One-stop shopping is more efficient than sourcing from multiple vendors |
| What's your lead time? | Some products may need to be ordered; plan accordingly |
ICF Pricing in Texas
ICF pricing varies based on several factors:
- Core size — Thicker cores (10", 12") cost more than standard 6" cores
- Form type — Specialty forms (corners, radius, taper-top) are priced higher than straight forms
- Order quantity — Larger projects typically receive volume pricing
- Delivery distance — Jobs outside our primary service area may incur delivery fees
For current pricing, request a quote with your project details. We provide itemized quotes so you know exactly what you're paying for.
Why Buy from an Authorized Distributor?
You might find ICF blocks on online marketplaces or from unauthorized resellers. Here's why that's risky:
- No technical support — When problems arise on the job site, you're on your own
- Warranty issues — Manufacturers may not honor warranties on products sold through unauthorized channels
- Unknown storage conditions — ICF foam can degrade if stored improperly
- No training — You miss out on the education that prevents installation errors
Professional Building Supply is an authorized Nudura and Tremco distributor with direct manufacturer relationships. When you buy from us, you get the full support package.

Can I pick up ICF blocks or do I need delivery?
Both options are available. For smaller orders, pickup from our Lakeway location works well. For larger projects, we recommend delivery directly to your job site.
How far in advance should I order?
We recommend ordering 2-3 weeks before you need materials. Most standard products are in stock, but specialty items or large orders may require additional lead time.
Do you deliver outside Central Texas?
Yes, we can arrange delivery throughout Texas. Contact us for delivery quotes to your specific location.
What if I need more material mid-project?
It happens! We can typically fulfill additional orders quickly. That said, accurate takeoffs upfront minimize delays and rush charges.
