Piling foundations, also known as stilt or pier foundations, provide the perfect solution for building in coastal and flood plain areas. These foundatons are flexible in height making them ideal for uneven terrains. They are best when combined with Topsider's floor-to-ceiling windows where the elevation enhances the view of the natural surroundings. In hurricane zones, severe weather zones and some other places, building codes require Pilings at specific and specified heights. Topsider Homes builds homes on pilings that vary in height and on pilings that are made of wood or steel of concrete or even composite material. There are also pilings that are driven, augured or jetted into place and those that are below-the-surface are used. It all depends on the terrain and the soil conditions. Topsider's design staff will help every step of the way in determining what is best suited for the building site as well as what meets the local building codes.

Pilings, Pier and Stilt foundations provide strength and the structural ability to survive storm surge, flood waters and such adverse conditions. They also enhance the views that coastal areas provide. Thus in the long run, Topsider Homes' piling, pier and stilt foundation houses will provide a great foundation option for these types of building sites.
