I used cast in place metal hangers the let you attach a board to them after the pour and I used the same method on the outside for my deck attachment.
couple of good ways.
There is a special type of ICF form blocck for that to create a "brick ledge" from most of the makers.
Or you can form up with anchor bolts cast into the wall and tied to the rebar to set ledgers up with, This option should be revieweed by an engineer to spec size and number of bolts
All the ICF makers have technical libraries chock full of details for you. Here is just one, available at the Logix site: http://www.logixicf.com/index.php?n=library&o=main#self
I have found the best resource for answers as regards ICF construction to be from the community at GreenBuildingTalk. Go here and see: http://www.greenbuildingtalk.com/Forums/tabid/53/view/topics/forumid/4/Default.aspx
Far more ICF expertise there, from a far larger community. Most of us here are light duty ICFers, and armchair wannabes, but there, you will be rubbing shoulders with more pros, who do more volume.
Check out the ways to pour footings and walls in one monopour, while there. Pretty interesting.
But you knew all that, didn't you? Did you come here because you thought that "Fine Homebuilding" had a large community at the forum actually doing "homebuilding," and that someone would have something worthwhile to say?
Just curious.
