When it comes to build­ing a stur­dy, ener­gy-effi­cient foun­da­tion for your home, insu­lat­ed con­crete form (ICF) tech­nol­o­gy is rapid­ly grow­ing in pop­u­lar­i­ty. By pro­vid­ing supe­ri­or insu­la­tion, an ICF foun­da­tion can sig­nif­i­cant­ly reduce heat­ing and cool­ing costs. Build­ing an ICF foun­da­tion can also be eas­i­er and less labor-inten­sive than tra­di­tion­al con­struc­tion due to the light­weight mate­ri­als involved. How­ev­er, the ini­tial cost can some­times be high­er than tra­di­tion­al con­struc­tion meth­ods, so how much does an ICF foun­da­tion cost?

Con­crete pump­ing has changed the way con­trac­tors place con­crete on job sites. Rather than haul­ing heavy loads in wheel­bar­rows or rely­ing on cranes and buck­ets, a con­crete pump deliv­ers liq­uid con­crete through a sys­tem of hoses, pipes, or booms — direct­ly to the point of place­ment.

“We com­plet­ed 9,000 square-feet of wall in just five days with only five men. With nor­mal mason­ry, it would have tak­en dou­ble the man pow­er. Fox Blocks qual­i­ty and ease of instal­la­tion is impor­tant in an indus­try where time is mon­ey.”

For 2013, the U.S. Fire Admin­is­tra­tion report­ed 1,240,000 house fires. Hous­es con­struct­ed out of ICFs have key advan­tages in min­i­miz­ing the dam­age and spread of these fires.

As extreme weath­er events increase in fre­quen­cy and inten­si­ty, the demand for reli­able storm pro­tec­tion has nev­er been more urgent. Insu­lat­ed Con­crete Forms (ICFs) offer an advanced solu­tion for con­struct­ing storm rooms that deliv­er unpar­al­leled safe­ty, dura­bil­i­ty, and ener­gy effi­cien­cy.

Par­ty wall con­struc­tion plays a cru­cial role in the devel­op­ment of town­hous­es, con­do­mini­ums, and duplex­es. Par­ty walls are strate­gi­cal­ly placed to sep­a­rate indi­vid­ual units with­in a shared struc­ture, to pro­vide pri­va­cy, fire pro­tec­tion, and struc­tur­al sta­bil­i­ty.

Every movie the­ater starts as a con­cept, but bring­ing that con­cept to life takes pre­ci­sion, exper­tise, and the right mate­ri­als.
