Par­ty wall con­struc­tion plays a cru­cial role in the devel­op­ment of town­hous­es, con­do­mini­ums, and duplex­es. Par­ty walls are strate­gi­cal­ly placed to sep­a­rate indi­vid­ual units with­in a shared struc­ture, to pro­vide pri­va­cy, fire pro­tec­tion, and struc­tur­al sta­bil­i­ty.

We are hon­ored to be rec­og­nized with these five ICF Builder Awards. Fox Blocks won five awards in three cat­e­gories, with projects from five dif­fer­ent states.

In this video, Fox Blocks’ Glen Klassen does a walk-through of how to prop­er­ly brace the Fox Buck pri­or to pour­ing the con­crete.

As tech­nol­o­gy has advanced, new con­struc­tion meth­ods have emerged. Under­stand­ing the tra­di­tion­al mason­ry vs. wood frame rival­ry sets the stage for why a bet­ter alter­na­tive exists.

Sev­en spe­cif­ic prob­lems with wood frame con­struc­tion include fire- and wind-resis­tance, dura­bil­i­ty, low ther­mal mass, shrink­age, and com­pro­mised acoustics and indoor air qual­i­ty (IAQ).

In this arti­cle, we’ll explore flood proof home con­struc­tion using inno­v­a­tive mate­ri­als and tech­niques, with a focus on insu­lat­ed con­crete forms (ICFs).
