Why Contractors are Choosing Fox Blocks
THE TRUE COST OF
FOX BLOCKS
To help understand the cost advantage of using Fox Blocks Industrial
Strength Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF) consider the following key points:
THREE KEY AREAS GIVE YOU THE TRUE ACCURATE COST
OF THE ICF YOU CHOOSE:
1) ICF BLOCK COST
Most ICF fall to within $0.10 per square foot of each other in block cost which is a minor
portion of the overall cost of the wall construction. You must get “All-In” landed ICF
System cost to accurately compare.
2) ANCILLARY PRODUCT COST
Add in all ancillary product costs that are not in the block quote. A common example is
most ICF require internal truss wire to give needed strength to the system. Know what's
required within system install guidelines to produce a straight wall. See next page for
examples that will save you time & money on your next job.
3) MAN HOUR RATE TO INSTALL
Eliminating tasks will shave hours/days off the project. Installation labor is the largest
portion of overall ICF cost. Seek full disclosure on man hour rates to install the ICF
system you are considering. Listening to experienced installing contractors and gaining an
understanding of the attributes of ICF products can make the difference between a
streamlined, profitable job and one that is not.
