Non-com­bustible, insu­lat­ed con­crete form (ICF) con­struc­tion is a bet­ter approach to fire safe­ty over wood con­struc­tion.

Insu­lat­ed Con­crete Form Man­u­fac­tur­er Fox Blocks brings its new­ly devel­oped web-based BIM tools to a forum focused on Fed­er­al Asset Man­age­ment.

Fox Blocks forms have a reversible inter­lock sys­tem on all blocks. The robust inter­lock allows the blocks to fit togeth­er very tight­ly, elim­i­nat­ing any require­ment for adhe­sives. A reversible inter­lock speeds up the instal­la­tion.

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).

Learn the key steps of ware­house build­ing con­struc­tion, from plan­ning and design to mate­ri­als and costs, to build a ware­house the right way.

Choos­ing the right foun­da­tion is a sig­nif­i­cant deci­sion in com­mer­cial con­struc­tion. This arti­cle explores the dif­fer­ences between block and poured foun­da­tions, pro­vid­ing insights into their ben­e­fits and poten­tial draw­backs.

Base­ments are no longer a scary, damp, and musty area. Learn about the new base­ment and how it has become the mod­ern hous­ing inno­va­tion it is today.
