Glen Rose Luxury Home with Complex Pier and Beam Foundation

We helped Sustainable Structures of North Texas build this luxury home near Glen Rose, TX. With nearly  3000 square feet of usable space, built at various levels and grades, this concrete foundation required active problem solving as the project progressed.

The foundation was a pier and beam foundation. We poured 463 linear ft of grade beam and 29 concrete piers for the home and deck. The crawl space featured a poly moisture barrier held in place with a layer of gravel.

The garage featured a 4 inch slab on grade foundation with 12x18 inch grade beams around the perimeter.

After the home and garage concrete was complete, we poured small concrete piers to support an elevated walkway.

This home foundation was quite complex. The variable height perimeter and the stair stepped grade beam required us to think through the unknowns and come up with accurate calculations.

While some contractors much prefer to stick to simple flatwork, we welcome challenging projects. It's a part of our unique DNA: We say yes. If it can be done, we do it.
