My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Is there any sort of poured foundation for the home?

11 years ago
I am working on a design for a large structure with no poured foundations, and I am looking for some other solutions to this problem. I am also just a student seeking answers, not looking to steal trade secrets, thanks!

    Hi Caitlin! My home is on a slab but the porches have concrete footings extending out from the slab. This gives the look of a raised home.
