For gen­er­a­tions, the con­struc­tion of exte­ri­or walls has fol­lowed tra­di­tion­al prac­tices that have pri­mar­i­ly involved wood or steel fram­ing. These meth­ods have been the back­bone of res­i­den­tial and light com­mer­cial con­struc­tion, by pro­vid­ing shel­ter, sta­bil­i­ty, and a cer­tain lev­el of insu­la­tion.

An ICF home, like one built with Fox Blocks, pro­vides many of the essen­tial fea­tures that today’s home­own­er is look­ing for: excel­lent indoor envi­ron­men­tal qual­i­ty (IEQ), ener­gy-effi­cien­cy, and dis­as­ter-resis­tance.

The build­ing indus­try cites a lack of qual­i­fied con­struc­tion work­ers as the major obsta­cle hold­ing up their con­struc­tion projects. Here are five ways builders can speed up home con­struc­tion.

Resilient build­ings made with Fox Blocks ICFs will pro­tect a com­mer­cial build­ing’s integri­ty against severe winds, flood­ing, earth­quakes, extreme tem­per­a­tures, and fire.
