| Welcome to Raised Floor Living for Building Pros! |
The Southern Pine Council conducts a "Build to a Higher Standard" campaign, promoting the advantages of raised pier-and-beam or crawlspace foundations to consumers and building professionals. The campaign features regional advertising and media events that direct homeowners to raisedfloorliving.com, where they can learn more about cost savings, insurance benefits, reduced flood risk and aesthetic charm associated with raised floor homes.
Why Build Raised?
Designers and builders who offer the raised floor option, framed
with strong, durable, renewable wood, create value
for themselves and the homeowner. The raised floor
homeowner accrues lifelong benefits such as curb
appeal, comfort, practicality and lasting value.
Discover all of the raised
floor advantages here. Building a wood-framed
raised floor foundation compares favorably to the
cost of a slab. Our construction
process walks you through the raised floor basics,
from soils and footings to floor framing.
