Maximum Energy Savings, Minimum Maintenance, and Extra Protection
Completed in May of 2019, this featured project is the Stid Hill House. Built by Victor Logan in the heart of the New York Finger Lakes region, and has been recognized at the 2020 ICF Builder Awards in the category of Small Residential. Designed by Logan’s wife and daughter, this house serves as a retirement home for his mother.

The goal of this project was to build a house that can offer maximum energy savings with minimal maintenance and extra protection from the often-harsh environment. With energy savings as the primary objectives, Victor made the decision to build with Insulating Concrete Forms (ICFs). After a fair amount of research and conversations with a local BuildBlock representative, Victor decided to use BuildBlock ICFs because of their energy efficiency rating, low maintenance, stellar protection from the elements, and readily available training resources.

We are pleased to announce that Brian Corder, former president of sales and marketing, has assumed the role of president and CEO of BuildBlock Building Systems.

Brian joined the BuildBlock team as the Marketing Director in 2012 with experience in marketing, design, and event production. Over the years he has been instrumental in shaping the BuildBlock identity with a focus on education and quality content creation. Over the past four years, he has led the BuildBlock organization by overseeing sales and marketing and has helped position the company for continual yearly growth.

“Brian’s proven leadership, knowledge of ICFs, and dedication to the advancement of the industry make him the perfect person to lead BuildBlock into this new and exciting chapter of our company,” said BuildBlock’s founder, Mike Garrett. Brian, alongside BuildBlock COO Micah Garrett and the entire Buildblock team, is committed to manufacturing the best ICF products available while providing excellent service and advancing the industry through ICF education.
