Project cost is one of the most dif­fi­cult — and most impor­tant — esti­ma­tions for any con­struc­tion com­pa­ny to get right. You want to be able to set man­age­able expec­ta­tions for your client, but also present a bud­get that is attrac­tive enough for them to choose you as their gen­er­al or sub-con­trac­tor while still mak­ing a prof­it your­self.

The assem­bly and place­ment of con­crete may take the same time as to build with con­ven­tion­al meth­ods. The advan­tage with Fox Blocks is that the walls are now insu­lat­ed, have a vapor and air bar­ri­er installed and are ready for fin­ish­es once the win­dows and roof are installed. These ben­e­fits will save weeks and/​or months depend­ing on the size of the projects.

The con­crete must cure for a min­i­mum of 7 days and the foun­da­tion wall must be lat­er­al­ly sup­port­ed, mean­ing the floor sys­tem is installed sup­port­ing the top of the wall. All below grade water­proof­ing / damp­proof­ing must be installed.

Whether you’re build­ing your dream home or a cozy cot­tage, know­ing the time­line is essen­tial. How­ev­er, one of the first ques­tions that come to mind is, ​“How long will it take to turn these blue­prints into my home?” Under­stand­ing the time­line is cru­cial for plan­ning, bud­get­ing, and ulti­mate­ly enjoy­ing the process of watch­ing your house come to life.

Insu­lat­ed con­crete form blocks pro­vide a host of advan­tages over tra­di­tion­al CMUs, includ­ing bet­ter ener­gy effi­cien­cy, eas­i­er con­struc­tion, and improved resilience.
