We cov­er the dif­fer­ences between CMU blocks and poured con­crete foun­da­tions so that you don’t have to learn from tri­al and error.

In this arti­cle, we will explore how to build a foun­da­tion for a small house using insu­lat­ed con­crete forms (ICFs) and dis­cuss the advan­tages of choos­ing this mod­ern con­struc­tion method.

A garage is only as strong as the foun­da­tion beneath it. With­out the right plan­ning and con­struc­tion, prob­lems like set­tling, water dam­age, and insta­bil­i­ty can show up over time.

Exte­ri­or wind dam­age is respon­si­ble for 25% of all home­own­er insur­ance claims. That doesn’t include the inte­ri­or loss­es that occur when dam­aged win­dows and roofs let rain wreak hav­oc inside. While we can’t pre­vent wind­storms, we can lessen their dam­age by plan­ning home designs with wind-resis­tance as a top pri­or­i­ty.
