Light­weight and stur­dy ICFs, like Fox Blocks, speed up new home con­struc­tion with quick and easy instal­la­tion, guar­an­teed avail­abil­i­ty, and both hot and cold tem­per­a­ture resis­tance. 

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.

The build­ing indus­try cites a lack of qual­i­fied con­struc­tion work­ers as the major obsta­cle hold­ing up their con­struc­tion projects. Here are five ways builders can speed up home con­struc­tion.

We cov­er the dif­fer­ences between CMU blocks and poured con­crete foun­da­tions so that you don’t have to learn from tri­al and error.

ICF con­struc­tion cre­ates mod­ern struc­tures that are ener­gy-effi­cient, durable, dis­as­ter-resis­tant, and have good indoor envi­ron­men­tal qual­i­ty (IEQ). ICF con­struc­tion is also strong, flex­i­ble, fast and easy to install. Unfor­tu­nate­ly, even with these many ben­e­fits, some archi­tects and con­trac­tors are reluc­tant to uti­lize it due to mis­con­cep­tions about ICF con­struc­tion.
