What Is Construction Phasing and Why Is It Important?
Con­struc­tion phas­ing is rev­o­lu­tion­iz­ing the way we approach build­ing projects. By divid­ing a project into man­age­able seg­ments, it is a strate­gic method for tack­ling large-scale devel­op­ments while also main­tain­ing oper­a­tional con­ti­nu­ity.

4 Alternative Materials for Wood in Construction
Wood has been a sta­ple in con­struc­tion for cen­turies. From the hum­ble log cab­in to the tow­er­ing sky­scrap­ers of mod­ern metrop­o­lis­es, wood always seems to find its place in con­struc­tion.

What is the R-Value?

The clear R‑Value of an Fox Blocks is R22, how­ev­er cur­rent Ener­gy codes rec­og­nize the lack of ther­mal bridg­ing in an ICF and the con­tri­bu­tion of the mass con­crete on the influ­ence of the ther­mal per­for­mance. Whole wall cal­cu­la­tions indi­cate a Fox blocks wall assem­bly pro­vides an R24 rat­ing.

The con­tin­u­ous dou­ble lay­er (inside and out­side) of insu­la­tion, the elim­i­na­tion of ther­mal bridg­ing and min­i­mal air infil­tra­tion through the mass con­crete wall assem­bly, allows Fox Blocks walls to per­for­mance in the high per­for­mance wall assem­bly cat­e­go­ry. Com­plet­ing the enve­lope with ener­gy effi­cient win­dows and doors and roof insu­la­tion, Fox Blocks homes can eas­i­ly meet and exceed ener­gy code require­ments and exceed the min­i­mum require­ments for Ener­gy Star and Ener­Guide. A Fox Blocks struc­ture requires 44% less ener­gy to heat and 32% less ener­gy to cool.

ISLAND HARBOR CLUB CONDOS
The con­trac­tor need­ed a build­ing solu­tion that would pro­vide a sus­tain­able devel­op­ment that would stim­u­late the local econ­o­my and pre­serve the his­toric feel of the com­mu­ni­ty. In addi­tion to the envi­ron­men­tal con­sid­er­a­tions, the com­mit­ment to pri­vate, ener­gy effi­cient units was a sell­ing point of build­ing with Fox Blocks ICF.
