The own­ers’ for­mer home, destroyed by Hur­ri­cane Har­vey, was the touch­stone for fam­i­ly gath­er­ings for near­ly two decades, and its loss was dev­as­tat­ing for the fam­i­ly.

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.

This build gave 30 high school stu­dents hands-on expe­ri­ence build­ing a home with Fox Blocks ICF from the ground up.

The project is a key fea­ture and gath­er­ing place in a small city that is plan­ning sub­stan­tial city-wide rede­vel­op­ment. The new 11-screen the­ater is a focal point of this effort and has intro­duced the region to ICF and the ben­e­fits of build­ing with this method.

This own­er-builder want­ed an attrac­tive, afford­able relax­ation spa that he could build him­self on week­ends. He designed the project to repli­cate a wine bar­rel pro­trud­ing from the ground, invit­ing one and all to enjoy a glass and stay awhile.

The own­ers of this Sandy Hook A‑frame want­ed to enjoy the pris­tine views of Lake Coun­ty in a cus­tom home that was afford­able to build and main­tain.

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.

A mod­ern, high-per­for­mance home pro­vides you with ener­gy-effi­cien­cy, safe­ty, and a high-lev­el of indoor envi­ron­ment qual­i­ty (IEQ) for your fam­i­ly’s com­fort.

ICFs have been used with great suc­cess for projects such as hotels, the­atres, mul­ti-sto­ry res­i­den­tial, office, retail, mixed-use retail, edu­ca­tion­al projects and all man­ner of pub­lic works and fed­er­al mil­i­tary appli­ca­tions. How­ev­er, some peo­ple argue that Steel Fram­ing is best for com­mer­cial con­struc­tion, so we decid­ed to get to the bot­tom of the ICF vs. Steel Fram­ing face-off.

Builders and home­own­ers that fol­low these 12 easy steps for home design and con­struc­tion will cre­ate a high-per­form­ing and healthy home that is com­fort­able and safe.
