BuildBlock Building Systems was formed in 2004 by founder and CEO Mike Garrett. Mike had been a top distributor for two other major ICF companies and spent more than 12 years in ICF construction and distribution and another 15 years in residential and small commercial construction. He pioneered the use of ICFs in Oklahoma.
BuildBlock ICF forms were created to overcome many of the problems and costs encountered with other ICF forms. Extensive experience building custom homes and small commercial structures over the past 15 years combined with his 12 year involvement in ICF distribution and construction helped lay a solid foundation to create one of the most installer friendly ICF on the market today.
BUILDBLOCK ICFs has been delivering the best ICF experience possible since 2004. Our goal is to provide tremendous value for our customers and a superior customer experience.
OUR ENTIRE STAFF is passionate about exceeding your expectations. We love our customers and welcome your feedback and suggestions. Use our Contact Us page to tell us what we’re doing right or what we can improve on.
I was looking for a form that would solve the problems most installers encountered (while building complex structures) that would speed up the building process so an installer could be more efficient and build better quality structures in less time.
Mike Garrett, BuildBlock Founder
The creation of BuildBlock forms was focused on solving problems encountered when building ICF structures both simple and complex. BuildBlock introduced many patented features providing real practical benefits for the installer and owner. Some of those features included:
BuildBlock strives to manufacture the finest, most value oriented form in the marketplace, building one of the strongest distribution and manufacturing companies along the way. BuildBlock introduced the industry’s first on-line ordering system allowing customers to order products at their convenience, while also developing a unique master distributor program with protected territories. Each year BuildBlock increases its manufacturing locations. Currently there fifteen locations in the North America.
More locations provide shorter shipping distances and lower the delivered form costs to our distributors and customers. It further increased its distribution with foreign licensing of its products around the world and opened its first foreign facility in Egypt in 2012 making BuildBlock truly an international form company. BuildBlock has added western Canada and Mexico facilities since then and continues to expand. BuildBlock has additional licensees around the world including Cyprus and the Philippines.
BuildBlock has continued to evolve its product line including versatile and very affordable BuildDeck floor and roofing system, BuildLock Knockdown 4-12+ inch products, GlobalBlock the first fully reversible all foam ICF, and the newest addition BuildRadius, the first true radius form on the market. Additional ICF accessories such as BuildBrace an ICF bracing and alignment system, BuildCrete Stucco & Plaster finishes, ThermalSert Insulation Inserts, and BuildClip an optional reinforcing clip strengthening cut blocks as they’re integrated into a flooring systems are added to solve needs in the market today.
The future is very bright for BuildBlock distributors and customers. BuildBlock is a company of innovation, service, and growth in this exciting industry. We believe that we are changing how buildings are built today and for the future. Build your future today. “Build It Once Build It For Life”
