Re: Why don’t builders build on stumps? 15Jun 05, 2020 2:04 am *bump* Interestingly, i have a sloping sandy site which i am being told will cost me ‘$100,000 to get out of the ground’. Being an enviro, I am keen for a light construction, enviro friendly etc. so keen on stumps. That will also help maximise my views... But most project builder are all about the concrete slab! I always knew that sloping sites would be pricey, but didnt quite expect $100,000k before i’ve even got one room... Anyone have costs to build on poles / stumps / stilts?? Thanks V Re: Why don’t builders build on stumps? 16Jun 05, 2020 12:02 pm Worth checking out Cupolex (www.cupolex.com.au), you may use their Rialto system is a good alternative to pier-and-beam foundation at a fraction of the cost - they can go up to 2.5 m Some concrete will still be needed, however, you would need it for your stumps too. If you're in a flood zone, not only are you dealing with the importation of fill and laying it down in 150 lifts to achieve compaction, you're going to have to consider… 4 5536 Are they stumps or screw piles ? How much fill is there, is the site a class "P" ? A "H2" site is not supposed to have stumps it is supposed to have grid beams according… 1 6955 That sucks! Hope it all works out. Good to move away from steel anyway for all your reasons, but it's also thermally poor. 16 17888 |
