[QUOTE="eyexer, post: 106895, member: 315"] I would do ICFS all the way up too. With that being said you damn well better have a good concrete guy. I just went down to help a buddy with some siding on an all ICFS house and it was horrible. Walls an 1-1/2" out of plumb. House was major out of square. There are very few concrete companies that can pull it off. It reminded me why I had to start doing my own concrete when I was building houses. Not out of desire but out of need. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] Central Vac is making a comeback but I still would never mess with it. There is just no way to overcome the long length of pipe to the source. Only way to do it is with vast amounts of money lol. But to the OP's original question it all depends on your budget. I could make a very long list but it would depend on the money you want to spend. But if I had one absolute that I would do it would be as mentioned. ICFS basement. But I would also add 1-1/2" foam under my basement floor. Did this on my two new homes and would never be without it. [/QUOTE]
