Con­trol­ling Com­mer­cial Con­struc­tion Labor Costs with ICF

Locat­ed in the his­toric Ybor City his­tor­i­cal dis­trict of Tam­pa, the Arturo Fuente Cig­ar Ware­house is a ​“15,000 square foot humi­dor.”

Insu­lat­ed con­crete forms (ICF) cre­ate a more ener­gy-effi­cient, qui­et, and healthy build­ing than one built with wood-frame con­struc­tion. ICF build­ings are also more resis­tant to dis­as­ter, fire, insect, and mois­ture intru­sion than wood-frame struc­tures.

Con­struc­tion of a shear wall includes mate­ri­als and design that enhance a structure’s stiff­ness, strength, and duc­til­i­ty in order to with­stand lat­er­al forces from severe winds and earth­quakes.

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