Wondering what experienced guys prefer between Build block and Fox Block. It seems they are a very comparable product and yet Fox Block is listed as quite a bit cheaper. Any thoughts would be appreciated, thanks!

Logix appears to me to be the essentially the same as both Build block and Fox, however I do like the additional plastic on the corners. Their website does not have prices (that I can find) though...

Fox has bigger corners, larger castillations and smaller webs .

MT_ICF,
I think it might depend on the size/scope of the project and what each company is willing do to help. Will you require brace rental for the project and is one willing to rent you some? Will they assist you with the project from a technical stand point if this is your first or second project? There could be some added value available to you that might not be seen in price. That is something you may want to consider.

Most of my experience is with Buildblock although I have used Quadlock somewhat as well. I think, as you mentioned renangle, it really comes down to who will work out best in a professional relationship. I certainly already have a feel for that company in particular. I am just wondering what you guys all thought from your own experience about some of the other comparables.

Can't go wrong with either one. A couple of my favorites.

I have been using fox-blocks for years now.
Love them . Easy to build,brace and plumb. Never have any blow out.
