I like your ICFs they are only way to go.
Just don't hang your sill plate over the insulation. That's asking for trouble.

You obviously haven't looked in Denver lol. A 2500 so ft home here will probably run you 750k. Good luck
The cost of building new is insane right now. My wife and I have discussed it on multiple occasions and it’s honestly not so much the price but the insane property taxes on a new home in Pennsylvania. A good friend of mine recently built a beautiful new house on a few acres and his taxes are just over $10k per year. I’m not sure about most people but I personally don’t want to be on the hook for 10,000+ in taxes the rest of my life. Once I can retire someday I don’t want a huge chunk of my fixed income going into my property tax.
That’s pretty common in PA anymore if it’s a newer house and the school district taxes are insane. The taxes only keep going up so I don’t think the future for building here is too brightWe looked at a place in PA, nice house 300ishK with about an acre. Taxes were 10k a year for a pretty poor school district and no local police coverage. No thanks.

that is my wife & I's fear of building. day to day we live cheap so we can save up and buy good stuff, same would go for a house but nervous about being punished for saving our money to build a nice place for the town & state to think "you built something nice you must have money we must take your money" just give us a flat tax per acre and per square foot of finished and unfinished space
WOW.....
I dont know if I am going to able to afford this.....Is anyone else building right now? The price for building a new house is absolutely out of sight.
2500 SQ FT house on a slab with acid washed floors, with no garage, is over 400K....
