Some clients might want to leave the home to future gen­er­a­tions of fam­i­ly mem­bers, while oth­ers may have a pas­sion for envi­ron­men­tal sus­tain­abil­i­ty. Com­ments like that all point to the same thing: a client who wants a home designed with the future in mind. And, by keep­ing up with the lat­est devel­op­ments in future-focused design, you can pro­vide the solu­tion.

The own­er of this 6,000 square foot home was attract­ed to Fox Blocks because of its ener­gy effi­cien­cy but was also hap­py with the ease of con­struc­tion that save time and mon­ey.

Dur­ing a severe weath­er event, the most crit­i­cal fac­tor for increas­ing the chances of a building’s sur­vival is pro­tec­tion of all the open­ings to the out­side. Once the wind enters the struc­ture, the pres­sure changes lead to dis­as­trous results.

In this video, Fox Blocks’ Glen Klassen does a walk-through of how to prop­er­ly brace the Fox Buck pri­or to pour­ing the con­crete.
