The own­ers of this Sandy Hook A‑frame want­ed to enjoy the pris­tine views of Lake Coun­ty in a cus­tom home that was afford­able to build and main­tain.

Any sus­tain­abil­i­ty con­sul­tant will tell you that a building’s insu­la­tion is a cru­cial part in con­struct­ing an ener­gy-effi­cient, high per­for­mance home. Choos­ing the right mate­r­i­al and insu­la­tion method for a build ensures home­own­ers will have a sus­tain­able build­ing enve­lope for the life cycle of the home.

Con­struc­tion phas­ing is rev­o­lu­tion­iz­ing the way we approach build­ing projects. By divid­ing a project into man­age­able seg­ments, it is a strate­gic method for tack­ling large-scale devel­op­ments while also main­tain­ing oper­a­tional con­ti­nu­ity.

Fox Blocks prod­ucts are com­ple­ment­ed by a full line of acces­sories to make your project’s con­struc­tion eas­i­er. From win­dow and door bucks to the only patent­ed ICF mason­ry anchor on the mar­ket, we have got you cov­ered.

Build­ing a home involves care­ful plan­ning and metic­u­lous con­struc­tion. The mate­ri­als used can dra­mat­i­cal­ly impact the dura­bil­i­ty, aes­thet­ics, and com­fort of the home. This arti­cle will explore the sev­en most durable build­ing mate­ri­als for res­i­den­tial con­struc­tion, and pro­vide insights into the strongest mate­r­i­al for build­ing a house and the longest-last­ing build­ing mate­ri­als avail­able today​.

Despite under­stand­ing the need for sus­tain­abil­i­ty, many archi­tects, design­ers and build­ing own­ers see the asso­ci­at­ed costs as a bar­ri­er. The real­i­ty is that, while switch­ing to sus­tain­able build­ing prac­tices does require an ini­tial invest­ment, it’s not as much as many assume.
