Foundations

[Compass]

This other guy was talking about foundations for steel buildings in the other forum but what kind? I hear pier and beam can be used but concrete is less expensive. What is recommended?

[Metalhead]

I don't know where you are in the country but check with a local contractor or erector experienced with steel buildings - they would know.

I would go with beam.

I agree with Chip in instances where concrete is more expensive...in the South cobcrete probably is still cheaper.

[NASCAR Crazy]

I mean concrete..don't want people lokking for "cobcrete"

[Chip]

Hey, NASCAR, maybe "cobrete" is some new type of mortor .. sort of like a "bio-feul" made out of corn, this one is a corn-concrete hybrid.

But seriously, how do you think Jeff Gordon will do this weekend in Atlanta? Do you think Johnson has a chance of catching him?

Please stay on topic for discussion of metal and steelbuildings and ancillary topics only. Thank you.

I lke the choice of concrete myself.

[Peggoty]

Isn't pier and beam mainly used for residential now?
