ICF stand for Insulated Concrete Forming. SIP stands for Structural Insulated Panels. CMU stands for Concrete Masonry Unit (Hollow Tile).
My company carries one ICF product and two SIP products. CMU is generally sold in Hilo by Glover. Steel Framing is produced on Oahu by Deitrich.
There are other CIF suppiers in state but I don;t keep track of them.
I'm not sure this is a hijack. The topic was about dealing with termites. Easiest way is to stop building with wood. You generally get a much better building too.
To address an earlier question: The product is called Termimesh I believe. It is a stainless steel mesh that is applied around pipe penetrations in a concrete slab to prevent termite intrusion. That helps for ground termites. Other termites fly.

Assume the best and ask questions.
