Poly­styrene is vir­gin mate­r­i­al, man­u­fac­tured from petro­le­um. Poly­styrene beads are expand­ed with steam heat to be up to 40 times their orig­i­nal vol­ume and then the expand­ed beads are mold­ed again by steam heat into ²⁵⁄₈″ rigid insu­la­tion pan­els to cre­ate a Fox Blocks ICF.

We face envi­ron­men­tal pol­lu­tion every day we step out­side our door.

Test reports con­duct­ed by the Nation­al Research Coun­cil state: ​“The max­i­mum tox­i­c­i­ty index obtained from the com­bus­tion of poly­styrene was of the same order as that of wood.” Fox Blocks ICFs have been test­ed to meet build­ing code require­ments for flame spread rat­ings, smoke devel­op­ment and tox­i­c­i­ty

Brew­ery con­struc­tion, like brew­ing itself, is both an art and a sci­ence. The build­ing must not only be aes­thet­i­cal­ly pleas­ing, but also func­tion­al and durable.

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.

Con­crete house con­struc­tion pro­vides home­own­ers with many ben­e­fits, includ­ing ener­gy-effi­cien­cy, dura­bil­i­ty, and low-main­te­nance.

Unit­ed States (U.S.) stu­dent hous­ing con­struc­tion projects are expe­ri­enc­ing rapid growth, with invest­ments in stu­dent hous­ing reach­ing $9.8 bil­lion in 2016 and $8 bil­lion in 2017.
