I am with my partner who is a structural engineer and after looking at the architectural plans we think the engineer has specified the strip footing slab to take the weight of the 2 precast concrete walls you have. If you were to delete those you could then go back to the engineer and ask if you could get away with a waffle slab. We would still keep those piers as they look fairly standard. At the end of the day, for your design we feel that your engineer is correct. It might be worth having a chat to him and `telling him your concerns and see if he has other options Cheers Simeon Architectural Homes & Duplexes - specialising in custom designing homes to your budget Get a Free Onsite Consultation Today or send a PM for information, questions or advice.
