Im in the process of building a pier foundation right now... seems like little info. Im trying to get some info on haw manny for my house and how big? Yours looks great can you point me in the right direction???
@@stevenbaczekarchitect9431 is this because the structure is tall or narrow? the footing sitting deep enough should be good in theory, although I'm not an engineer, I also thought about how the truss floor joists are giving the piers maximum stability, still seems to overkill also not all that appealing considering the side bulge, couldn't it be a bigger footer underground to maximize stability?
Hey Steve, I’m an unlicensed ME on MS coast. I am trying to build my own house but need to come up 14 feet to BFE. I cannot find any resources for column size or spacing. Do you have a friend/ resource that you could recommend to me for assistance in learning the rules of the road in the civil spectrum? Thanks. Do y’all do approvals? Or do y’all only design from cradle to grave?
Just pay up the money and get a local wngineer to draw up some plans. Shouldnt be more than $1500 for a house on stilts. You have to remember too any house can be turned to a pier foundation except for garages so the house will be built the same as a 2 foot pier
Thank you for this video! It shows a lot of important details in wanted, but nobody showed, especially from underneath where I wanted to see.
Great details. I like the continuous red line across all six faces of the box.
Gotta have a "completed" redline test!!! Thanks for joining in
Is there a video that shows the insulating process? I'd like to watch the how to step by step
Was step by step process of insulation install ever posted ?
A lot of cabins up north MI are built on piers above ground.

Cool video! Not super relevant to the point of your video but I was wondering: What is the overall span on those floor trusses?
I have the same question.
I wonder why you had to do such overkill piers? Does it have a good footer down below frost line?
It was reviewed by a structural engineer, my take is that it was more about developing shear resistance than the gravity load
