The con­trac­tor need­ed a build­ing solu­tion that would pro­vide a sus­tain­able devel­op­ment that would stim­u­late the local econ­o­my and pre­serve the his­toric feel of the com­mu­ni­ty. In addi­tion to the envi­ron­men­tal con­sid­er­a­tions, the com­mit­ment to pri­vate, ener­gy effi­cient units was a sell­ing point of build­ing with Fox Blocks ICF.

In order to max­i­mize the avail­able project foot­print and achieve the beau­ti­ful mediter­ranean-inspired look, the design required com­plex, tight-radius cor­ners and open­ings.

Fox Blocks Com­pact offers more eco­nom­i­cal ship­ping costs by deliv­er­ing flat. Ties can then be insert­ed eas­i­ly into the pan­els at the job­site. This com­pact prod­uct is designed to stack seam­less­ly with the tra­di­tion­al Fox Blocks line.

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

Con­struc­tion phas­ing is rev­o­lu­tion­iz­ing the way we approach build­ing projects. By divid­ing a project into man­age­able seg­ments, it is a strate­gic method for tack­ling large-scale devel­op­ments while also main­tain­ing oper­a­tional con­ti­nu­ity.

After los­ing their home to a fire in 2017, the project own­ers aimed to build a replace­ment that was sim­i­lar in design but stronger and more fire-resis­tant. The fire had exten­sive­ly dam­aged the site, which neces­si­tat­ed a com­plete demo­li­tion of the old struc­ture, includ­ing the for­mer base­ment, pri­or to the con­struc­tion of the new ICF home.

When a church’s mem­ber­ship out­grows its wor­ship space, con­gre­ga­tion lead­ers often strug­gle with the deci­sion on whether to expand the cur­rent facil­i­ty or build a new church. Regard­less of the direc­tion tak­en, detailed plan­ning helps to estab­lish goals, stay on bud­get, and ensure thor­ough and well-man­aged com­mu­ni­ca­tion with the fel­low­ship.
