As the new school year approaches, children in Papillion, Nebraska are gearing up to return to a state-of-the-art learning facility built with cutting-edge Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF). Ashbury Hills Elementary School - a part of the Papillion La Vista Community Schools is the first complete school built with ICFs in the state of Nebraska, and its gymnasium was built to full height with Fox Blocks. This school has a superior STC rating 50-plus!

How Much Does an ICF Foundation Cost? |

11 Landscape Drainage Solutions for 2023 |

|
|
Building a dental office involves meticulous planning, both in terms of design and finances. One of the most common questions that arises is, "how much does it cost to build a dental office?" The answer can vary significantly based on several factors, including location, size, and chosen materials, but knowing the most important parameters can help keep costs in line. |
|
When it comes to building a sturdy, energy-efficient foundation for your home, ICF technology is rapidly growing in popularity. By providing superior insulation, an ICF foundation can significantly reduce heating and cooling costs.
Building an ICF foundation can also be easier and less labor-intensive than traditional construction due to the lightweight materials involved. |
|
Landscape drainage is an integral part of creating an effective and aesthetically pleasing outdoor space. Without an efficient drainage system, water can pool and cause damage to your landscape and even the structural integrity of your home. Therefore, landscape drainage is not merely an option, but a necessity. |

Contractor of The Month Gary Wiebers of Concrete Advantage FL in Panama City, FL |
|
Gary Wiebers has installed ICFs since 1998 with Reward Wall Systems, then Fox Blocks beginning in 2014. He took his ICF training alongside Fox Blocks Technical Advisor Kelvin Doerr, P.E., 25 years ago and has been a contractor to ICFs ever since. Gary has been involved in many ICF projects across the Florida Panhandle – from modest homes to luxury homes, apartments/multi-family, to commercial and retail. |

Gary just wrapped concrete on a massive 14,000 SF software center. Gary has constructed ICF homes that survived Hurricane Michael (Oct-2018), notably Michael Lovchuck's State Farm Insurance Office. Michael is happy Gary built his office out of ICFs a few years before the massive storm. The State Farm - ICF Structure proved to be a haven for the surrounding neighbors & businesses when the CAT 5 storm took out other buildings in the area. After the Hurricane, Gary shared images & stories of survival for homes, apartment buildings, and other structures. On ICF homes, most typical damage was minimized to exterior finishes because the ICF walls took full weight on downed trees.
Gary has earned the respect of the local community for his service in concrete/stormproof structures. Fox Blocks Southeast Regional Advisor David Morris adds, "The ICF industry commends Gary Wiebers of Concrete Advantage for his 25+ years of service – working hands-on with his crews every day -- showing the constructability & consistency & resiliency of structures built with Insulated Concrete Forms. His service combination of footers, concrete slab & ICFs helps Builders/GCs,/Owners earn confidence that their project will be in good hands with one company providing quality concrete craftsmanship."
For vacations and free time -- Gary enjoys getting off the beach & into the North Carolina Mountains to hike with his family. He is also a cross-fit trainer & physical fitness enthusiast. Fox Blocks Congratulates Gary for his service, role, and professionalism in growing the ICF Industry.
Thank you Gary and Team! Keep up the excellent work! |
