- Proving to prospective new homeowner customers that reinforced concrete homes built with ICFs are better for them in every way. Showing that Design & Finish can look identical (exterior and interior) to stick-built houses and can accept any exterior finish available for wood-frame houses; in fact, given the versatility of the Fox Blocks ICF system, ICF homes can easily accommodate some of the more difficult architectural features such as tight-radius walls, cantilevered decks, and arched window/door openings at a lower cost (materials & labor) than wood-frame homes.
- Dispelling the outdated myths of the traditional building industry by Telling the Truth; that superior concrete homes cost significantly less to own month in, month out, than old fashioned stick-built homes; in fact, did you know you can even build the same size superior ICF home at about the same cost as old-fashioned timber? – The truth is that choosing an ICF home equates to approx. a 5% higher initial outlay, which is very rapidly recovered through the significant energy savings (up to 70%) the moment you move in and every month after – Just Imagine, Significantly Lower Heating Costs in Winter, Significantly Lower Cooling Costs in Summer - plus you will get to enjoy the Insurance savings, maintenance savings and the noticeable improvement in your home’s comfort & safety levels all year round.
