can you have piers under the slab and piers above the slab with caps and no block wall to support the house? (In other words, a house is sitting on 9 feet high piers, and the piers are sitting on a slab (a raft) that has localized thickenings underneath where reinforced concrete vertical beams were casted in place as part of the footings. Another way to express what I am asking: Is it code to lift a house on beams without block walls to support it (essentially walkout basement without block walls kind of like a beach house on stilts, but the soil is loamy) If no, why not?
Nice video. I’m a builder in Texas that has skid steers. Wanted to know where you get the helix piers? Would like to find a manufacturer close to Texas to cost down on shipping cost. Thanks.
