Hi everyone, new to this site and appologise if i am duplicating an already existing thread or question.
Looking at extending my three bed detached house, with a 3m by 6m wide, single story extension to the rear of the house.
Architect has sujested a pad and beam foundation as opposed to a traditional foundation, to both reduce cost and time.
Foundation would consist of four 1 x 1 m2 concrete pads with concrete beams placed ontop, with walls built directly off beams.
Has anyone got any thoughts or experience to the pros and more importantly, the cons of this type of foundation?
