What kind of a foundation does a timber frame house require?
Timber framed structures can be built on virtually any foundation configuration including full basement, grade beam, slab, and pier systems that may utilize poured concrete, concrete block or other acceptable foundation construction materials. Foundations are structurally engineered for each building site and specific construction details appear on all Timbercraft plans. A complete discussion of foundations and steel tie-down straps can be found in the Construction Manual that accompanies the building package for your home.
