As urban areas expand and avail­able space becomes lim­it­ed, the need for self-stor­age facil­i­ties is on the rise. Select­ing the right con­struc­tion mate­ri­als is key to ensur­ing a facility’s dura­bil­i­ty, ener­gy effi­cien­cy, and long-term suc­cess.

Today, there are many voic­es mak­ing waves in build­ing codes and green/en­er­gy-effi­cient design; none are more impor­tant than the views of local offi­cials that vote on hun­dreds of pro­pos­als to change the Inter­na­tion­al Ener­gy Con­ser­va­tion Code (IECC).

ICF con­struc­tion for com­mer­cial build­ings has sky­rock­et­ed over the past few years. ICF ben­e­fits rang­ing from sound insu­la­tion to dura­bil­i­ty to build­ing strength and dis­as­ter resis­tance have piqued a lot of inter­est for builders and archi­tects. But it has some scratch­ing their heads, mis­tak­en­ly think­ing ICF is more expen­sive and then won­der­ing, ​“Is ICF con­struc­tion cost worth it?”

A garage is only as strong as the foun­da­tion beneath it. With­out the right plan­ning and con­struc­tion, prob­lems like set­tling, water dam­age, and insta­bil­i­ty can show up over time.

Build­ing com­mer­cial retail devel­op­ments with ICF con­struc­tion cre­ates struc­tures that are dis­as­ter-resis­tant, ener­gy-effi­cient, envi­ron­men­tal­ly-friend­ly, qui­et, and durable.

Muse­ums do more than dis­play art or his­to­ry — they offer spaces where peo­ple can con­nect with cul­ture, sci­ence, and cre­ativ­i­ty.
