Truss wire – Do we need it?
I was a believ­er in using truss wire when installing oth­er ICF’s but now that I’m using the Fox Blocks ICF I have been con­vinced by con­trac­tors that it is not nec­es­sary.
Does Concrete Mix Really Matter?
Prop­er con­crete mix saves time on labor, facil­i­tates con­crete con­sol­i­da­tion and ensures a suc­cess­ful Fox Blocks wall pour.
Building Nashville’s First Green, Affordable Housing Development
Nashville is known as the nation’s hub for coun­try music and cul­ture. As the cap­i­tal city of Ten­nessee, it has steadi­ly grown in pop­u­la­tion since the 1970s. The city’s lead­er­ship saw a need for more afford­able hous­ing oppor­tu­ni­ties in the boom­ing metro­plex, with a focus on more ener­gy-effi­cient homes to fur­ther address the cost of liv­ing.

LANDSCAPE RETAINING WALL
The chal­lenge for this build was to cre­ate a home that would appeal to a sophis­ti­cat­ed buy­er with fea­tures that an emp­ty nester mov­ing from a larg­er more expan­sive home would enjoy. The result is an ener­gy effi­cient home which cre­ative­ly uses space in an attrac­tive, lux­u­ri­ous, and cost effec­tive way.
