We opted for a pier and beam foundation in Texas despite every new build is done on a slab to cut costs. We knew it was more expensive, but also knew the problems that a slab can have on our soil. We love the ease of accessing the pipes, love the feel of walking on a raised floor and love knowing that any foundation issues will be minimal compared to homes built on a slab. Also foam insulation (our house hardly fluctuates 2 degrees despite wild temp swings outside) and good wood/fiberglass windows. They look good and perform very well.
