Home Plan #592-024D-0008If you have ever visited the Louisiana Lowcountry or another Beach or Coastal area, you may have seen house designs that appear to be on "stilts." These home plans are pier built homes. Plans for houses on stilts have a grid system of girders (beams), piers, and footings to elevate the structure of the home above the ground plane or grade. The piers serve as columns for the structure.Lifting the pier house plan well above the ground in a beach or coastal region or Lowcountry region is wise to prevent possible flood damage. This type of foundation is economical to construct. But, keep in mind, floor insulation is critical when building home designs like these.
