Build­ing a home involves care­ful plan­ning and metic­u­lous con­struc­tion. The mate­ri­als used can dra­mat­i­cal­ly impact the dura­bil­i­ty, aes­thet­ics, and com­fort of the home. This arti­cle will explore the sev­en most durable build­ing mate­ri­als for res­i­den­tial con­struc­tion, and pro­vide insights into the strongest mate­r­i­al for build­ing a house and the longest-last­ing build­ing mate­ri­als avail­able today​.

Build­ing a den­tal office involves metic­u­lous plan­ning, both in terms of design and finances. One of the most com­mon ques­tions that aris­es is, ​“how much does it cost to build a den­tal office?” The answer can vary sig­nif­i­cant­ly based on sev­er­al fac­tors, includ­ing loca­tion, size, and cho­sen mate­ri­als, but know­ing the most impor­tant para­me­ters can help keep costs in line. This arti­cle delves into the spe­cif­ic com­po­nents and expens­es asso­ci­at­ed with build­ing a den­tal office.

Last year Fox Blocks decid­ed we could add speed and val­ue to the Tilt Up indus­try and it took all of 2 weeks to get the Fox Tilt insert engi­neered, mold made, and pro­duc­tion start­ed. I can’t stop grin­ning about the capa­bil­i­ties of our par­ent Air­lite Plas­tics.

As tech­nol­o­gy has advanced, new con­struc­tion meth­ods have emerged. Under­stand­ing the tra­di­tion­al mason­ry vs. wood frame rival­ry sets the stage for why a bet­ter alter­na­tive exists.

The home­own­ers want­ed to build a home that would be beau­ti­ful, func­tion­al, and sus­tain­able. They brought in an ICF expert con­trac­tor who select­ed Fox Blocks as the ide­al build­ing mate­r­i­al to accom­plish the home­own­ers goals. This home was built direct­ly into a nat­ur­al rock ledge and fea­tures large cov­ered porch­es and breeze­ways on the exte­ri­or and beau­ti­ful oak floors through­out the inte­ri­or. 

The advan­tages of Fox Blocks ICFs are sev­er­al. Fox Blocks pro­vide a clever design that has the good fea­tures of the tried and true ear­ly brands of ICFs, and then has incor­po­rat­ed sig­nif­i­cant improve­ments, which enhance the ease of use to the installer.

In this arti­cle, we’ll explore flood proof home con­struc­tion using inno­v­a­tive mate­ri­als and tech­niques, with a focus on insu­lat­ed con­crete forms (ICFs).

Insu­lat­ed Con­crete Form wall sys­tems, Fox Blocks, are a way to cre­ate an extreme­ly safe struc­ture. When teach­ers and stu­dents return to an ICF school, they are pro­tect­ed against these ele­ments.
