How Much Does it Cost to Build a Dental Office?
Build­ing a den­tal office involves metic­u­lous plan­ning, both in terms of design and finances. One of the most com­mon ques­tions that aris­es is, how much does it cost to build a den­tal office?” The answer can vary sig­nif­i­cant­ly based on sev­er­al fac­tors, includ­ing loca­tion, size, and cho­sen mate­ri­als, but know­ing the most impor­tant para­me­ters can help keep costs in line. This arti­cle delves into the spe­cif­ic com­po­nents and expens­es asso­ci­at­ed with build­ing a den­tal office.

ICC 500 Missile Impact Testing Requirements for Storm Shelters and Safe Rooms
Fox Blocks announces that their ICF wall assem­bly passed the ICC 500 required Mis­sile Impact test used to deter­mine com­pli­ance of storm shel­ter and safe room design and con­struc­tion from fly­ing debris in severe high-wind weath­er events.
How do I protect the ICFs below grade?

All ICF walls below grade, that have hab­it­able space on one side (base­ment), must have a water­proof­ing / damp­proof­ing mem­brane installed. For walls that do not have hab­it­able space on one side (crawl space, frost walls, etc.) the EPS can be left exposed to the earth. The EPS will not dete­ri­o­rate when exposed to the earth.
