Foundation Information
- Slab Foundations
- Strip Foundations
- Pillar Foundations

They will keep the underneath of your house warmer (no chance of a through draught) and may protect your pipes from the frost more but it also means if you have a problem with plumbing there is no external access to the crawl space under the house-you will have to have a hatch in the floor.
They are also easy and quick to create, causing fewer headaches for your builder!
Pillars are better for sloping sites, cheaper (using up to 70% less concrete), more environmentally friendly and allow easy access to the underside of your house. As the log cabin will be resting on pillars instead of the ground, more materials are needed: Main floor beams, floor filling boards and battens for the floor filling boards.
