A con­crete foun­da­tion wal­l’s thick­ness plays an inte­gral role in its long-term strength and dura­bil­i­ty. Local build­ing codes man­date the foun­da­tion spec­i­fi­ca­tions, address­ing con­di­tions that affect the foun­da­tion thick­ness.

Win­ter­set Com­mu­ni­ty Church want­ed a larg­er gath­er­ing space for the local com­mu­ni­ty, so they decid­ed to add a gym­na­si­um to their wor­ship build­ing. The addi­tion had to be built quick­ly while the church was still in use, blend in seam­less­ly with the exist­ing struc­ture, and offer high noise pro­tec­tion between the church and the gym­na­si­um.

While it may seem that hav­ing to com­ply with con­stant­ly-evolv­ing build­ing codes is just part of doing busi­ness in a mod­ern soci­ety, that’s not real­ly true.

Fox Blocks Inte­grat­ed Learn­ing Cen­ter’s (ILC) online train­ing pro­vides com­pre­hen­sive step-by-step prac­tices for ade­quate­ly installing insu­lat­ed con­crete forms (ICFs).

In order to max­i­mize the avail­able project foot­print and achieve the beau­ti­ful mediter­ranean-inspired look, the design required com­plex, tight-radius cor­ners and open­ings.

Our insu­lat­ed con­crete forms are sol­id mono­lith­ic walls and with­stand the worst of rain­storms, fires, and high winds — includ­ing tor­na­does.

The objec­tive was to build a beau­ti­ful home on spec that was both ener­gy effi­cient and hur­ri­cane-resis­tant in a sought-after neigh­bor­hood in the Flori­da Pan­han­dle.

When a church’s mem­ber­ship out­grows its wor­ship space, con­gre­ga­tion lead­ers often strug­gle with the deci­sion on whether to expand the cur­rent facil­i­ty or build a new church. Regard­less of the direc­tion tak­en, detailed plan­ning helps to estab­lish goals, stay on bud­get, and ensure thor­ough and well-man­aged com­mu­ni­ca­tion with the fel­low­ship.
