I've been involved in that type of construction and the manufactures does  
not allow that. I would suggest getting the manufactures spec relating to 
that  issue. Also the code is clear. If you need more let me know

Hello  All,
 
I'm looking at a  set of plans for building constructed of ICF walls. Wall 
sections  indicate that foam on outside of building will be less than 6 
inches  from grade and will be covered with synthetic finish (e.g. Dryvit).  In  
some areas foam will extend below grade.  Are the ICF walls required  to 
comply with section 2603.8 of the FBCB, more specifically clearances  between 
earth and foam?  Feedback will be much appreciated.  Please  let me know if 
you need additional information or clarification in order to  reply.  Thanks.

(NOTE: Designer  has classified the building as Type IIB, but technically 
building is VB based  on construction  drawings.)
