WHAT
IS Premeré? 
Premeré
uses a method of construction known either as Insulating
Concrete Formwork (ICF) or Permanent Insulating Formwork
(PIF). The principle behind Premeré Insulating Concrete
Form (ICF) construction is very simple. It's a combination
of rigid PVC, polystyrene foam, and polycarbonate components.
Together these components create a cavity in which rebar
and concrete are placed. Highly insulated concrete walls
are formed using lightweight polystyrene expanded or extruded
foam. This polystyrene foam is combined with Premere's patented
corners, rails and cross-ties to create a concrete form
of foam insulation. The Premeré forms with rebar
located at key points within the cavity and the forms adequately
braced; wet concrete is poured into the cavity. Once the
concrete sets, the polystyrene foam form remains in place
to provide insulation within the finished wall. This combination
of concrete and foam insulation creates a structure that
has increased energy efficiency, strength and overall durability.
Concrete is the world's most important building material
it is used in skyscrapers, dams, bridges, and airport
runways. The ancient Romans built some of their most spectacular
buildings using an early form of concrete, that are still
standing nearly 2000 years later.

Bios
Gary Grant P.E.
Project/Sales Engineer
I
am excited to be here at ICF Forms, LLC as a Project/Sales
Engineer. Prior to Project/Sales Engineer, I spent over
25 years in the bearing industry as Engineering Manager
and Project Engineer at The Torrington Co. I plan to share
my experiences and training in the field to teach and encourage
customers to use the new technology by Premere Insulated
Concrete Forms (ICF), the Building of the Future for both
residential and commercial buildings.
In the fall 2002, I attended Premere University, a hands-on
training course offer by Premere Forms, Inc. With the training
presented by the Premere Forms staff, I feel very confident
as a Project/Sales Engineer. I have built several Premere
Forms buildings; therefore, I have hands-on field experiences
to share with our customers. I am looking forward to building
a future with all our clients. .
I have worked with my partner Douglas Carrier in his private
engineering practice for over four years as a Mechanical
Engineer. This teaming has allowed us to tackle most any
problem.
I was raised in Clawson, Michigan. I earned my Bachelor
of Science degree in 1975 in Mechanical Engineering, from
Michigan Technological University. I served in the USNR
and was honorably discharged in 1978. Following graduation,
I moved to Torrington, Connecticut to work for The Torrington
Company as a product design engineer. I earned my Masters
of Science degree in 1980 in Mechanical Engineering from
the RPI. Since 1984, I have qualified as Professional Engineer
(CT).
Douglas Carrier E.E.
Director of Engineering
I
started ICF Forms LLC about 5 years ago. Since it's inception,
I have been fortunate to have what I call the 'dream team'
to work at my side. Pat, Gary and Bill have given so much
to this organization, I feel we are ready to engage the
steadily increasing demand for better and more 'green' requirements
demanded by the building community.
I attended Dewitt Page College where I achieved an 3.6 average.
I went Back to school nights and full time to acquire an
engineering degree.
My entire career basically consists of three engineering
firms which I became head of the electrical engineering
department of two. I have enjoyed a successful engineering
practice of my own, for a period of about 25 years. I am
now concentrating all efforts on this business which I feel
will be a most rewarding endeavor.
Together with Gary, I have physically constructed many successful
projects with Premere Forms ICF, convincing me that our
system has much more advantages both residential and commercial
than any other product out there.
