Both ver­ti­cal and hor­i­zon­tal ICFs con­struc­tion cre­ate mois­ture- and dis­as­ter-resis­tant walls with excel­lent R‑values. But which is the bet­ter ICF wall?

By choos­ing prac­ti­cal, sus­tain­able solu­tions, busi­ness­es can effec­tive­ly man­age the cost to build a 30,000 sq ft ware­house while boost­ing effi­cien­cy.

By iden­ti­fy­ing these ener­gy wasters, you can take the nec­es­sary steps to make the build­ing more effi­cient.

A beau­ti­ful­ly fin­ished foun­da­tion adds more than curb appeal — it pro­tects your home from envi­ron­men­tal dam­age and enhances ener­gy effi­cien­cy. Mod­ern home­own­ers and builders can choose from a vari­ety of exte­ri­or cov­er­ing ideas, from time­less options like brick and stone veneer applied to advanced solu­tions like Insu­lat­ed Con­crete Forms (ICFs).

This guide will help you nav­i­gate through the process of hir­ing and work­ing with an archi­tect to suc­cess­ful­ly design and build the home of your dreams.

Whether you’re build­ing your dream home or a cozy cot­tage, know­ing the time­line is essen­tial. How­ev­er, one of the first ques­tions that come to mind is, ​“How long will it take to turn these blue­prints into my home?” Under­stand­ing the time­line is cru­cial for plan­ning, bud­get­ing, and ulti­mate­ly enjoy­ing the process of watch­ing your house come to life.

Ener­gy effi­cien­cy in homes is vital for both eco­nom­ic and envi­ron­men­tal rea­sons, which is why builders have robust tools like the HERS Index and Ener­gy Star rat­ings to gauge and improve the ener­gy per­for­mance of build­ings.
