A surface panel for creating decorative and utilitarian motif surfaces on concrete structures is disclosed. This surface panel allows motif surfaces of brick, stone, tile or siding to be applied to the exterior and interior of concrete structures. The surface panel can be used with other surface panels, or alternatively, as a component of an insulating concrete form (ICF) system. When used with an ICF system, the exterior surface of a concrete structure has a motif surface of brick, stone, tile or siding, while the interior of the structure has an insulating polystyrene surface. The surface panel described herein allows concrete structures including buildings, walls, pillars, and stanchions to be built efficiently and without skilled labor.
