Building the Future: How Stelcor Is Leading ICF Manufacturing in CARICOM

Introduction: The Shift Toward Smarter Construction

Across the Caribbean, developers and builders face a new reality: rising material costs, climate challenges, and the need for energy-efficient, sustainable construction systems. At the center of this shift is Insulated Concrete Form (ICF) technology, a smarter, stronger, and more efficient way to build.

StelCor Solutions, headquartered in Belize, is proud to be the first ICF manufacturer within the CARICOM region, setting a new benchmark for quality and innovation in regional construction.

Locally Manufactured, Regionally Delivered

Stelcor, ICF setup

For years, builders in the Caribbean depended on imported materials that were costly, delayed, and inconsistent in supply. StelCor has redefined this system.

By manufacturing ICF blocks locally in Belize, StelCor dramatically reduces shipping costs, eliminates high import duties, and ensures consistent product availability across Belize, Jamaica, The Bahamas, and the wider CARICOM region.

This localized approach strengthens the regional economy while providing contractors and developers with faster delivery and reliable inventory—no more waiting on overseas shipments.

Uncompromising Quality and Proven Experience

Each ICF block produced by StelCor undergoes rigorous quality control using advanced EPS molding technology. In partnership with Polystructure & Architectural Works Ltd, a company with over two decades of EPS manufacturing experience, StelCor ensures each block meets the highest standards of precision and durability.

Our blocks measure 1 foot by 4 feet, weighing 1 kilogram per side, engineered to withstand regional humidity, heat, and hurricane exposure. The result is a high-performance building material that reduces labor time and improves long-term resilience.

The Environmental and Economic Advantage

ICF technology doesn’t just make buildings stronger, it makes them smarter. The insulating core of each StelCor block helps regulate indoor temperatures, cutting cooling costs by up to 60%. This makes ICF construction one of the most sustainable and energy-efficient methods available to Caribbean developers.

With governments and private builders placing increasing emphasis on sustainable development, StelCor’s ICF blocks help projects align with environmental standards while improving profitability.

Serving the Caribbean’s Builders, Developers, and Distributors

StelCor’s central manufacturing hub in Ladyville, Belize City allows for efficient regional distribution. We supply builders, construction companies, and developers across the Caribbean who value quality, speed, and local expertise.

Our growing product line extends beyond ICF blocks to include:

• Aquron concrete protection systems

• River Birch wastewater treatment solutions

• Structural concrete products like pre-stressed T-beams and piles

This integrated product ecosystem makes StelCor the go-to provider for sustainable, high-quality building materials in the Caribbean.

Build Better, Live Better

At StelCor, we believe that when you build better, you live better. Every product we create supports that mission, stronger homes, smarter developments, and a more sustainable Caribbean future.

ICF manufacturing in CARICOM is more than an industry milestone. It’s a step toward independence, innovation, and resilience across our region.

Conclusion: The Future of Caribbean Construction

As the only ICF manufacturer in CARICOM, StelCor Solutions is proud to lead the charge in sustainable construction. By combining local production, regional distribution, and unmatched quality, we’re helping builders across the Caribbean create homes and developments built to last.
