A small firm, and a short page.
Fox Bygg is run from Setesdalsveien in Kristiansand. The work is timber construction — putting up frames and roof structures and finishing them properly — and most of what we have to say about a job is easier said on the phone or standing on the site than written on a web page.
So this page keeps to what is actually useful to a stranger: who the company is, where to find it, and what else it has its name on. If you want to talk about a build, the address below reaches a person.

Ten small cabins holding what one building holds need more than twice the outside wall.
It is the oldest arithmetic on a building site. Volume grows with the cube of a dimension and surface only with the square, so the taller a building gets the less envelope it carries per cubic metre inside it — and splitting the same brief across several small buildings runs the arithmetic backwards. Every square metre of that extra envelope is cladding, insulation, membrane, flashing and heat loss. Move the sliders.
Spreading 128 m³ across 10 buildings instead of one takes the envelope from 160 m² to 345 m² — 2.154 times as much to clad, insulate and keep warm. The multiplier is the cube root of ten and nothing else: not the plan, not the height, not the volume you began with.
Both sides enclose the same volume, drawn at one scale. The same curve, far down at the small end, is why a greenhouse is almost all glass and a garden under a jar is nothing but surface.
The figures come from the square-cube law and a rectangular block; a real building has a roof pitch, a floor slab and openings, so treat the numbers as the shape of the problem rather than a take-off. For an actual quantity, measure the actual drawing.
We also publish an app
Fox Bygg has one listing on Google Play, a side project rather than a line of business. It is called Terra, and it is a small thing for arranging a terrarium under glass — soil, ferns, pebbles, driftwood — with no account, no advertising and no connection to anything.
