he would love to grow the company, but only if he can find “likeminded individuals” to add to the team. “We need to find the right people,” he says. “We need to find people who understand that they are working on someone’s home, on someone’s dream, on someone’s future. That has to be at the forefront of their mind.” If he can find workers with that mindset, one of Adam’s goals is to establish an ICF-only crew and put one of his younger guys in charge. They could do shells and foundations, and Adam or his foreman could focus more on the rest of the building. Eventually, Adam would like to become known for providing slab-on-grade houses for retirees looking to move out to the country. He knows there’s a growing need in that sector. “With ICF, and our personality, and our team, I think we’re a great fit,” he concludes. “We can build for people who are on a budget, but who aren’t necessarily on their starter home. They still want a really nice product. Those are the customers we cater to.” FEBRUARY 2022
