Embodied Carbon vs Operational Carbon: The ICF Advantage for Operational Carbon Buildings
The environmental impact of buildings is a key concern in modern construction, focusing on reducing carbon emissions. A clear understanding of embodied and operational carbon, along with their differences, is essential for sustainable construction strategies.

13 Must-Haves When Building a New Home
Building a new home offers you the opportunity to include the latest energy-efficient, durable, and sustainable products and methods, saving you money on monthly and long-term expenses.

10 Green Building Construction Methods
Green building construction methods have emerged as options for not only reducing environmental footprints, but also cutting down energy expenses. These methods are based on eco-friendly practices and materials, and are aimed at promoting both environmental and economic sustainability.

Integrated Design in Architecture and Construction
In the field of architecture and construction, integrated design is a powerful solution that tackles the inefficiencies of traditional isolated processes. This approach combines different project elements under a unified vision, and proves particularly effective with Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF) like those from Fox Blocks. By using ICF, the building process becomes more efficient and collaborative.

How Much Does an ICF Foundation Cost?
When it comes to building a sturdy, energy-efficient foundation for your home, insulated concrete form (ICF) technology is rapidly growing in popularity. By providing superior insulation, an ICF foundation can significantly reduce heating and cooling costs. Building an ICF foundation can also be easier and less labor-intensive than traditional construction due to the lightweight materials involved. However, the initial cost can sometimes be higher than traditional construction methods, so how much does an ICF foundation cost?

How to Build a Self-Storage Facility
As urban areas expand and available space becomes limited, the need for self-storage facilities is on the rise. Selecting the right construction materials is key to ensuring a facility’s durability, energy efficiency, and long-term success.
