Fox Natural Building Company was born due to a concern for environmental and human health.
We feel shelter holds great importance in the well being of its inhabitants as well as the earth’s ecosystem.
Conventional building practices have long dominated the market. The results are harsh and carry with them toxic chemicals (e.g., formaldehydes, benzene and chlorinated solvents) that contaminate our air, water and soils. They utilize a tremendous amount of energy that results in an oversized carbon footprint.
Fox Natural Building (FNB) offers an alternative. Our selection of products is based on quality and sustainability. To us, top quality comes only from a product that nature can supply. We strive to work with materials that are provided to us by the earth, and maintain their raw form as much as possible. Aside from the use of natural materials, we work with materials that are local to the building region, and better yet, to the specific site. Whether you’re a land owner whose interest is in building out of timbers from your property, or one whose interested in our regions beautiful indigenous hardwoods, we’ll work with you to create the most beautiful and sustainable product as possible.
At FNB we strive to produce the highest-quality natural living spaces possible, with little impact on the environment. We want them to reflect each individuals own unique and personal touch, and make a statement about their location. Therefore, we want each structure we build to tell a story, one of the land and its people.
