The document describes the Iglu Pro Form construction system, which uses expanded polystyrene (EPS) formwork elements that are filled with concrete to create monolithic structures. The system offers several advantages over traditional construction methods, such as being up to 70% faster, 25% less expensive, and providing high quality, energy efficient, and environmentally friendly buildings. The system can be used to construct single-family homes, multi-story buildings, warehouses, and other structures. Pro Green Built Intl. offers a complete turnkey factory to produce the EPS formwork elements.

THE PRODUCT
We offer:
One of the most advanced construction system available today
and the complete turnkey Factory to produce it. It is a system,
which is proven, flexible, rapid, and highly cost effective. It is
also environmentally friendly, energy efficient, hurricane- and
earthquake resistant, water-proof, fire resistant, is not
harvested by rodents, termites or other insects, does not permit
the growth of fungus, and does not corrode.
The Iglu Pro Form®
system uses high-density expanded
polystyrene (EPS) Form-Work elements, which are filled with
concrete to create monolithic structures. These elements are
produced in a fully integrated production plant, designed and
manufactured by the HIRSCH Group in Austria . The company
also owns both the designs and the system rights of the
elements themselves.
The system, known today as the Iglu Pro Form®
system, has
been improved and perfected for the past fifteen years. The
HIRSCH Group in Austria produces the equipment, trains
personnel in the use of such equipment, and installs the
complete production plant at the buyer’s location.
PRO GREEN BUILT INTL. is unique in that it not only developed
thoroughly the construction system, but also designs and
engineers complete turnkey plants to be delivered worldwide,
utilizing full scale and the EPS machine technology from the
HIRSCH Group in Austria, and Italy

3. An Introduction to IGLU PRO FORM
Traditional methods of concrete construction use various
types of form works to construct walls and ceilings. Concrete
is poured into the form works. After the concrete has cured,
the forms have to be removed, and the constructor must then
apply to both surfaces of wall's a finish, such as insulation
material, acoustic material, mineral or acrylic plaster for water
protection, etc.
In the Iglu Pro Form®
construction system, the form work
elements of expanded polystyrene (EPS), used to construct
the walls and ceilings, remain in place and provide the actual
insulation for the structure. It is also known as Insulated
Concrete Form system or ICF. In addition to excellent thermal
properties, the insulation protects also against sound,
corrosion, water, humidity, fire, fungus, and termites. As
important, the design and properties of the Iglu Pro Form®
elements will drastically reduce the time needed to erect the
structural form work and cure the concrete, without the use of
special additives. The EPS form-works can receive re-bar
reinforcements (vertically and horizontally) to withstand strong
hurricanes and earthquakes. Once the Iglu Pro Form®
insulation elements are in place, they are filled with concrete
to form a solid monolithic wall structure...
... Rapid, economic, flexible, and highly effective.

Background of the IGLU PRO FORM SYSTEM
In 1969 a novel construction system which became known as
Insulated Concrete Form System (ICF) was developed in
Europe. Not been used for many years after, it became today
one of the most technologically advanced construction system
available in the world.
Field experiences have demonstrated that in comparison with
many other conventional construction systems, it is able to
increase construction capacity by up to 5 times, minimizing
the use of skilled labor and reducing the cost of construction
to a fraction of the actual cost of conventional construction
systems.
We offer a fully integrated Modular Production Factory that
manufactures a complete construction system, consisting of
elements (walls, ceilings, roofs, floors), which is very simple
yet sophisticated. It exceeds by far cost and speed
expectations of construction companies and end users. The
system has been fully tested and proven, and meets the
exacting standards of DIN (Deutsche Industrie Norm).
As an example of the time savings, the system has been used
to construct a finished 100 square meter house in less than
ten days, utilizing primarily unskilled laborers, whereas it
would take skilled workers up to three months to build the
same house using traditional methods. As the magnitude of
the structures being built increases, such as in the case of
warehouses, hotels, schools and apartment buildings, the
benefits of the Iglu Pro Form®
system become even more
substantial.
Note: One square meter is equivalent to 10.76 square feet.

The Advantages
of the IGLU PRO FORM
ICF System
1. Construction with Iglu Pro Form®
is up to 70% more rapid
than with other construction systems:
 Lightweight EPS form works assemble quickly
 Use of sophisticated just in time labor/material logistics
program allows constructors to plan easier and save cost.
 Concrete cures overnight, without expensive additives.
 Re bar reinforcements, piping, and electrical wiring can be
easily installed before the concrete is poured.
 EPS form works stay in place, unlike other systems, which
require additional cost and labor for the form-work removal.
 EPS elements are the insulation; therefore, no additional
time is necessary for further application of insulation panels
 Window and door-frames and anchors are set in place
before the concrete is poured, allowing for rapid installation
of the frames.
 Pouring of Concrete in 1.50m (5 blocks) increments will
eliminate any bracing, this adds to speed and reduces cost.
Full wall height pouring up to five meters was also achieved
2. Construction with Iglu Pro Form®
is, depending on the
country, up to 25% less expensive than with other
conventional construction systems:
 Utilizes primarily unskilled labor in completing the structure
 Reduced construction time drastically reduces interest on
construction loans.
 Minimal damage and waste (2-3%) increases construction
efficiency and reduces cost.
 Lightweight EPS elements require little use of heavy on-site
equipment (Cranes or other Lifting machinery).
 Ease of finishing reduces usage of expensive skilled labor.
