3 Problems with Autoclaved Aerated Concrete Blocks
Integrated Design in Architecture and Construction
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.
Lock-and-Leave Home Design: How to Increase Your Free Time and Security
With so many homeowners looking for ways to cut back on their busy lives and enjoy more quality time with friends and families, the lock-and-leave home seems to be the perfect solution.

Manpower for 9,000 SF of ICF Wall Cut in Half!
“We completed 9,000 square-feet of wall in just five days with only five men. With normal masonry, it would have taken double the man power. Fox Blocks quality and ease of installation is important in an industry where time is money.”
Remove Costs on your ICF Project
Two proven areas to remove costs are corners and truss wire.
