As builders and buy­ers look to con­tin­u­al­ly fight ris­ing costs, mak­ing small changes and minor sub­sti­tu­tions, as a way of val­ue engi­neer­ing, can large­ly impact the final cost of a build.

Dis­cov­er how build­ing a smart home with ICF com­bines strength and ener­gy effi­cien­cy by design for sus­tain­able, mod­ern liv­ing

Con­crete pump­ing has changed the way con­trac­tors place con­crete on job sites. Rather than haul­ing heavy loads in wheel­bar­rows or rely­ing on cranes and buck­ets, a con­crete pump deliv­ers liq­uid con­crete through a sys­tem of hoses, pipes, or booms — direct­ly to the point of place­ment.

In this arti­cle, we’ll explore flood proof home con­struc­tion using inno­v­a­tive mate­ri­als and tech­niques, with a focus on insu­lat­ed con­crete forms (ICFs).

Every movie the­ater starts as a con­cept, but bring­ing that con­cept to life takes pre­ci­sion, exper­tise, and the right mate­ri­als.

Con­crete is a ver­sa­tile and durable con­struc­tion mate­r­i­al that is pre­dom­i­nant­ly used in both com­mer­cial and res­i­den­tial struc­tures. It’s essen­tial to under­stand con­crete’s ther­mal prop­er­ties, specif­i­cal­ly its tem­per­a­ture lim­its, to opti­mize its strength and dura­bil­i­ty.

Wall sys­tems con­struct­ed with Fox Blocks insu­lat­ed con­crete forms (ICFs ) ensure a wind-resis­tant struc­ture with a strong con­tin­u­ous load path that holds the roof, walls, floors, and foun­da­tion togeth­er dur­ing an intense wind event.
