Building Maintenance Management 101
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.

The Superior Thermal Performance of ICF Lintels over Wood Lintels

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.
The Fox Block Interlock
When the Fox Blocks interlock was designed our Engineering staff made the choice not to focus on being within 1÷2” to 1” from the building dimension but to give the strongest interlock possible.

New Training for the Fox Block Interlock
We have found it to be a waste of time and energy to attempt to offset or stagger the block as in the photo to the left. By creating a vertical stacked seam you will be more accurate with the job dimensions and will increase your profit by gaining efficiency.
