The design team at SMP Archi­tec­ture want­ed to cre­ate a safe and secure, sus­tain­able struc­ture with low main­te­nance costs for the own­ers.

Rebuild­ing after a wild­fire with Fox Blocks insu­lat­ed con­crete form (ICF) con­struc­tion can pro­tect a new struc­ture and its occu­pants from future wild­fires.

Dur­ing a severe weath­er event, the most crit­i­cal fac­tor for increas­ing the chances of a building’s sur­vival is pro­tec­tion of all the open­ings to the out­side. Once the wind enters the struc­ture, the pres­sure changes lead to dis­as­trous results.

Con­trac­tors and archi­tects can avoid the prob­lems of struc­tur­al insu­lat­ed pan­el (SIP) wall con­struc­tion with Fox Blocks ICFs.

No. The char­ac­ter­is­tics of an ICF wall with the mass con­crete and the EPS insu­la­tion pro­vide the required vapor per­me­ance to meet build­ing code require­ments as a vapor bar­ri­er.

No, ICFs in gen­er­al are cov­ered in the build­ing code and Fox Blocks ICF has a prod­uct eval­u­a­tion report that con­firms the prod­uct and appli­ca­tions meet the require­ments of the respec­tive build­ing codes in the USA and Cana­da. These reports are avail­able on our web­site.

The meth­ods and mate­ri­als for sus­tain­able com­mu­ni­ties encour­age dura­bil­i­ty, ener­gy-effi­cien­cy, and supe­ri­or indoor air qual­i­ty (IAQ).

In 2020, as E‑commerce con­tin­ues to grow, busi­ness­es need big­ger, more finan­cial­ly-effi­cient and func­tion­al dis­tri­b­u­tion cen­ters.
