Last year Fox Blocks decid­ed we could add speed and val­ue to the Tilt Up indus­try and it took all of 2 weeks to get the Fox Tilt insert engi­neered, mold made, and pro­duc­tion start­ed. I can’t stop grin­ning about the capa­bil­i­ties of our par­ent Air­lite Plas­tics.

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.

Nashville is known as the nation’s hub for coun­try music and cul­ture. As the cap­i­tal city of Ten­nessee, it has steadi­ly grown in pop­u­la­tion since the 1970s. The city’s lead­er­ship saw a need for more afford­able hous­ing oppor­tu­ni­ties in the boom­ing metro­plex, with a focus on more ener­gy-effi­cient homes to fur­ther address the cost of liv­ing.

Con­struct­ing a com­mer­cial retail build­ing is a sig­nif­i­cant invest­ment that comes with its own set of com­plex­i­ties. Var­ied fac­tors can impact the over­all cost of build­ing a retail build­ing, each con­tribut­ing to the final price tag.

Prop­er­ty man­agers are real­iz­ing the cru­cial role of thor­ough build­ing main­te­nance in pro­tect­ing prop­er­ty val­ue, func­tion­al­i­ty, and safe­ty. This arti­cle explores the essen­tial com­po­nents of build­ing main­te­nance man­age­ment and empha­sizes the impor­tance of using inno­v­a­tive build­ing solu­tions for sus­tain­able, safe, and well-main­tained prop­er­ties.

As cli­mate change becomes a greater issue, archi­tects are under increas­ing pres­sure to design sus­tain­able, yet high-per­for­mance build­ings. In this blog, we go over some effec­tive strate­gies you can use dur­ing the design process to enhance your building’s ener­gy effi­cien­cy

Trag­i­cal­ly, between 2000 and 2017 there were 894 wind and 1417 tor­na­do-relat­ed deaths. In 2017, 36 per­cent of the wind and 63 per­cent of the tor­na­do-relat­ed fatal­i­ties hap­pened either in a mobile or per­ma­nent home. A wind-resis­tant design is crit­i­cal to a home­’s integri­ty and a family’s safe­ty.

As I try to break into…..or attempt to uti­lize or at least sign up…….on some of the new social media or medi­ums that con­tin­ue to grow in pop­u­lar­i­ty, I real­ize that I must be old! Very, very old! I thought that my col­league out west ​“Mr. Siz­zle” was about my age, but he is def­i­nite­ly young when it comes to all of these tech­nolo­gies!

Donat­ed con­crete will strength­en afford­able hous­ing, mak­ing it more resilient and sus­tain­able.
