Three sus­tain­able build­ing mate­ri­als for 2019 that stand out are the TRUE­GRID® Per­me­able Pavers, Fox Blocks and Bam­boo.

In the field of archi­tec­ture and con­struc­tion, inte­grat­ed design is a pow­er­ful solu­tion that tack­les the inef­fi­cien­cies of tra­di­tion­al iso­lat­ed process­es. This approach com­bines dif­fer­ent project ele­ments under a uni­fied vision, and proves par­tic­u­lar­ly effec­tive with Insu­lat­ed Con­crete Forms (ICF) like those from Fox Blocks. By using ICF, the build­ing process becomes more effi­cient and col­lab­o­ra­tive.

Sev­en spe­cif­ic prob­lems with wood frame con­struc­tion include fire- and wind-resis­tance, dura­bil­i­ty, low ther­mal mass, shrink­age, and com­pro­mised acoustics and indoor air qual­i­ty (IAQ).

Con­struct­ing a com­mer­cial retail build­ing is a sig­nif­i­cant invest­ment that comes with its own set of com­plex­i­ties. Var­ied fac­tors can impact the over­all cost of build­ing a retail build­ing, each con­tribut­ing to the final price tag.

Insu­lat­ed Con­crete Forms (ICFs) are essen­tial for Cana­di­an con­struc­tion, known for their supe­ri­or ener­gy effi­cien­cy, struc­tur­al dura­bil­i­ty, and abil­i­ty to han­dle extreme weath­er.

When con­sid­er­ing AAC vs ICF con­struc­tion, it’s impor­tant to know the dif­fer­ences, pros, and cons.
