The House's Foundation
A
System Built home needs a foundation to shoulder its considerable
weight, hold to tight construction tolerances, provide a flat and
level base for construction, and separate non treated wood materials from
ground-contact that would otherwise cause rot and
allow termite infestation.
The
bottom part of a foundation is called a footing (or footer).
The footing is wider than the foundation wall with specialized
requirements depending on the foundation system and is located a minimum
of 30 inches below the frost line (the distance from the finished or
backfilled dirt grade and the bottom of the footing).
Maximum Builders typically builds homes on crawl space and
basement foundations. We recommends four types of foundation
systems.
Poured concrete - Installed on site
by our local subcontractor using forms to create various height &
thickness of solid concrete walls.
Precast concrete - Installed
typically by "Superior Walls" which provides off site, controlled
environment production facilities to build wall sections of various
sizes which offer some additional construction & finish advantages.
Permanent wood foundations -
Installed by our in house work force building off site or on site
walls of various heights and requirements creating additional
construction & finish advantages at a less cost than other methods.
Concrete Block - Installed on site by
our local contractors using precast hollow core & solid blocks of
various sizes typically used for our crawl space foundations.
Size and
acceptable types are regulated by local & state building codes.
