Old-World Style Home and Vine­yard Prove ICF Resi­lence. Noble mate­ri­als like cus­tom heavy-tim­ber struc­tur­al truss­es, rafter tails, and out­look­ers give the home a nat­ur­al ranch look, while hand-cut, local­ly sourced, nat­ur­al stone accents pro­vide a sol­id foot­ing and time­less dura­bil­i­ty.

Rebuild­ing after a wild­fire with Fox Blocks insu­lat­ed con­crete form (ICF) con­struc­tion can pro­tect a new struc­ture and its occu­pants from future wild­fires.

In this arti­cle, we will explore how to build a foun­da­tion for a small house using insu­lat­ed con­crete forms (ICFs) and dis­cuss the advan­tages of choos­ing this mod­ern con­struc­tion method.

The advan­tages of Fox Blocks ICFs are sev­er­al. Fox Blocks pro­vide a clever design that has the good fea­tures of the tried and true ear­ly brands of ICFs, and then has incor­po­rat­ed sig­nif­i­cant improve­ments, which enhance the ease of use to the installer.

Every com­mer­cial build­ing con­struc­tion project begins with a vision that must bal­ance bud­get, per­for­mance, and long-term dura­bil­i­ty. When sys­tems align from the start, each phase strength­ens effi­cien­cy, safe­ty, and oper­a­tional per­for­mance for decades.

Green build­ing con­struc­tion meth­ods have emerged as options for not only reduc­ing envi­ron­men­tal foot­prints, but also cut­ting down ener­gy expens­es. These meth­ods are based on eco-friend­ly prac­tices and mate­ri­als, and are aimed at pro­mot­ing both envi­ron­men­tal and eco­nom­ic sus­tain­abil­i­ty.

The own­ers want­ed an ener­gy-effi­cient facil­i­ty where they could pro­vide inde­pen­dent liv­ing, pal­lia­tive, and end-of-life care in Ontario, Cana­da.
