Flori­da home­own­ers often grap­ple with some of the nation’s high­est insur­ance rates due to the state’s high sus­cep­ti­bil­i­ty to hur­ri­canes and severe storms.

A con­crete foun­da­tion wal­l’s thick­ness plays an inte­gral role in its long-term strength and dura­bil­i­ty. Local build­ing codes man­date the foun­da­tion spec­i­fi­ca­tions, address­ing con­di­tions that affect the foun­da­tion thick­ness.

Sev­en spe­cif­ic prob­lems with wood frame con­struc­tion include fire- and wind-resis­tance, dura­bil­i­ty, low ther­mal mass, shrink­age, and com­pro­mised acoustics and indoor air qual­i­ty (IAQ).
