If you have ever visited the Louisiana Lowcountry or another Beach/Coastal area, you may have seen houses that appear to be on "stilts". These are pier built homes. A Pier foundation is a grid system of girders (beams), piers, and footings used in construction to elevate the structure of the home above the ground plane or grade. The piers serve as columns for the structure. Lifting the house well above the ground in a beach/coastal region or Lowcountry region is wise to prevent possible flood damage. A Pier foundation is an economical foundation to construct. But, keep in mind, floor insulation is critical when building a home upon piers.
