Cottonwood Village Residential Subdivision - Powell, Wyoming

Cottonwood Village in Powell, Wyoming is not your typical cookie-cutter subdivision. This 100-lot tract home development offers homebuyers the unique opportunity to choose and customize their house plans to meet their specific needs. What also sets Cottonwood Village apart is its use of Nudura Insulated Concrete Forms (ICFs) in constructing each home.

Harvell Construction benefits from the logistical advantages of Nudura ICFs, receiving comprehensive shipments for the structural wall components of each house. The ICF system enables foundation installation in two days and pouring on the third day. The entire process, including framing, can be completed in about two weeks.

Residents experience significant energy savings due to the superior thermal performance and continuous exterior and interior insulation of an ICF wall assembly. "We're already saving at least 50% on a monthly winter bill," said homeowner, Rich Wetherill. ICF homes retain their temperature much longer than conventional construction methods, significantly reducing costs on heating and cooling.

Nudura ICFs also offer excellent sound attenuation, making homes quieter and more comfortable. "There's hardly any sound that gets transferred through the house," notes Wetherill.
