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.

As green build­ing becomes more com­mon prac­tice, there is a trend towards low­er con­struc­tion costs asso­ci­at­ed with build­ing sus­tain­ably, due to improved tech­nolo­gies and more read­i­ly avail­able envi­ron­men­tal­ly friend­ly build­ing mate­ri­als.

You can avoid stud-fram­ing mois­ture prob­lems by choos­ing a mois­ture-resis­tant insu­lat­ed con­crete form (ICF) foun­da­tion for your new home.

ICF’s ben­e­fits are mas­sive, rang­ing from cost sav­ings to dura­bil­i­ty, high qual­i­ty and easy instal­la­tion. If you want to learn how to save mon­ey on your next project, keep read­ing.

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.

In 2019, con­struc­tion indus­try trends wel­come advance­ments in build­ing meth­ods and mate­ri­als; how­ev­er, the indus­try still strug­gles with ongo­ing labor short­ages.
