This arti­cle will out­line the impor­tance of con­struc­tion work­flow in com­mer­cial projects, the process­es that often take the most time dur­ing con­struc­tion, the ben­e­fits of using ICF and how specif­i­cal­ly Fox Blocks’ ICF can help save time and costs on your next project.

When con­struct­ing a build­ing, ensur­ing its sta­bil­i­ty and resilience is crit­i­cal. Two essen­tial com­po­nents that play cru­cial roles in build­ing sta­bil­i­ty are shear walls and load bear­ing walls.

Con­crete mason­ry units (CMU) and insu­lat­ed con­crete form (ICF) walls have sev­er­al fea­tures in com­mon: ener­gy-effi­cien­cy, dura­bil­i­ty, and good indoor envi­ron­men­tal qual­i­ty (IEQ). How­ev­er, ICF is quick­er and eas­i­er to install com­pared to CMU, which saves time and mon­ey.

Unit­ed States (U.S.) stu­dent hous­ing con­struc­tion projects are expe­ri­enc­ing rapid growth, with invest­ments in stu­dent hous­ing reach­ing $9.8 bil­lion in 2016 and $8 bil­lion in 2017.

The build­ing indus­try cites a lack of qual­i­fied con­struc­tion work­ers as the major obsta­cle hold­ing up their con­struc­tion projects. Here are five ways builders can speed up home con­struc­tion.
