Mono Slab®️ was created with affordability and convenience in mind. Our forms are designed to make quick work of forming and insulating a frost-protected shallow foundation (FPSF) in any climate without the high price tag. When Northern Built set out to build a “code-minimum house” in Minnesota, they chose the use the Mono Slab®️ Arctic form. The homeowner had a tight budget and wanted a simple home with no upgrades.
Northern Built started saving money from the ground up. A FPSF is the most affordable option and by using Mono Slab®️ EZ Form, they were able to form and insulate in one step. And with less excavation and materials needed, they were able to go from excavation to framing in 3 days.
