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.
What is a Resilient Home and How to Build One
Constructing strong homes that endure time and nature is crucial in modern building. Resilient homes are created to withstand harsh weather and provide exceptional durability and safety for homeowners.

Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF) Vs. Wood-Frame Construction
Insulated concrete forms (ICF) create a more energy-efficient, quiet, and healthy building than one built with wood-frame construction. ICF buildings are also more resistant to disaster, fire, insect, and moisture intrusion than wood-frame structures.
Building Safety Standards Guide
Safety in construction is not just about compliance; it’s about commitment. A commitment to protect lives, preserve investments, and not to exceed the boundaries of what buildings can withstand.

ICF vs. Steel Framing: Which Is Best For Commercial Construction?
ICFs have been used with great success for projects such as hotels, theatres, multi-story residential, office, retail, mixed-use retail, educational projects and all manner of public works and federal military applications. However, some people argue that Steel Framing is best for commercial construction, so we decided to get to the bottom of the ICF vs. Steel Framing face-off.
