Com­mer­cial con­trac­tors and their clients are show­ing a greater inter­est in design­ing build­ings that can stand strong dur­ing nat­ur­al dis­as­ters. In their quest for for­ti­fied mate­ri­als, more of them are turn­ing to ICF con­struc­tion.

Ener­gy costs keep climb­ing, mak­ing insu­la­tion ener­gy effi­cien­cy more impor­tant than ever. Build­ings that lose heat in the win­ter and trap it in the sum­mer waste ener­gy and dri­ve up util­i­ty bills.

I had a call this week from a con­trac­tor who want­ed to know if there was an easy way to build a two foot jog into a wall.

Fox Blocks ICF announced that it will acquire select key assets from ARXX Build­ing Prod­ucts, inte­grat­ing those assets into its own oper­a­tions and aug­ment­ing the Fox Blocks Insu­lat­ed Con­crete Form (ICF) prod­uct line.

Project cost is one of the most dif­fi­cult — and most impor­tant — esti­ma­tions for any con­struc­tion com­pa­ny to get right. You want to be able to set man­age­able expec­ta­tions for your client, but also present a bud­get that is attrac­tive enough for them to choose you as their gen­er­al or sub-con­trac­tor while still mak­ing a prof­it your­self.
