BuildBlock Ireland to locally manufacture and supply BuildBlock ICF products, improving access for Ireland and surrounding markets.
Oklahoma City, OK – March 17, 2026 – BuildBlock Building Systems today announced a new international licensing agreement with BuildBlock Ireland, a licensed manufacturing partner that will produce and distribute BuildBlock insulated concrete forms (ICFs) in Ireland and the United Kingdom under the BuildBlock brand.
Under the agreement, BuildBlock Ireland manufactures BuildBlock’s ICF product line locally in Ireland using BuildBlock’s proprietary designs, specifications, patented technologies, and markets the products under the BuildBlock Ireland name. Under the BuildBlock licensing program, a licensed manufacturer gains access to over twenty years of intellectual property knowledge and receives ongoing technical, engineering, and marketing support from BuildBlock’s headquarters. Under this new licensing agreement BuildBlock also collaborated with BuildBlock Ireland to develop an expanded product offering designed specifically for the Irish and UK market. More information about this product will be released soon.
“This partnership with BuildBlock Ireland is a key milestone in our international growth strategy,” said Micah Garrett, Chief Operations Officer, who leads BuildBlock’s licensing and manufacturing initiatives. “Local manufacturing in Ireland allows for local competitive pricing, reduces freight, shortens lead times, and gives builders in the region direct access to our full ICF system, backed by the same engineering standards and support that our North American customers rely on.” This venture also opens the door for products to be exported to the European market more economically.
BuildBlock Ireland has started producing block in 2026 and is currently supplying ICF products for projects in Ireland. With their recent completion of their NSAI documentation, the BuildBlock product line will have code approval in Ireland.
“We’re excited to officially bring BuildBlock’s ICF technology to Ireland through local manufacturing,” said Paul Conway, Director of BuildBlock Ireland. “By producing block in‑country, we can provide contractors and developers with more reliable supply, lower shipping costs, and faster response times—while delivering the strength, energy efficiency, and speed of construction that BuildBlock ICF is known for worldwide.”
Benefits for Builders and Developers
With Ireland as part of BuildBlock’s international licensing network, the company is positioned to better serve architects, engineers, and contractors in Ireland and surrounding markets who are seeking resilient, energy‑efficient building solutions. Key benefits include:
- Reduced lead times and freight costs compared with importing ICFs from North America
- Improved supply reliability through local inventory and production capacity
- Support aligned with regional codes and practices, backed by BuildBlock’s technical resources
- On‑the‑ground assistance from a local team familiar with both BuildBlock technology and local construction requirements
“Demand for high‑performance, energy‑efficient building envelopes continues to grow worldwide,” added Brian Corder, CEO at BuildBlock Building Systems. “Licensing strong local partners like BuildBlock Ireland helps us meet that demand while maintaining the quality and performance our brand stands for.”
