Party Wall Construction: Why ICFs Are the Best Option
Par­ty wall con­struc­tion plays a cru­cial role in the devel­op­ment of town­hous­es, con­do­mini­ums, and duplex­es. Par­ty walls are strate­gi­cal­ly placed to sep­a­rate indi­vid­ual units with­in a shared struc­ture, to pro­vide pri­va­cy, fire pro­tec­tion, and struc­tur­al sta­bil­i­ty.

Designing for Disaster Protection and Storm-Proof Homes
Exte­ri­or wind dam­age is respon­si­ble for 25% of all home­own­er insur­ance claims. That doesn’t include the inte­ri­or loss­es that occur when dam­aged win­dows and roofs let rain wreak hav­oc inside. While we can’t pre­vent wind­storms, we can lessen their dam­age by plan­ning home designs with wind-resis­tance as a top pri­or­i­ty.
