Hello,
consider building a house in timber frame construction.
The plot is about 1 meter below the street, so it would have to be properly filled and compacted.
I discussed the scenario with a carpentry business, to build a strip foundation instead of a slab foundation.
Then it would essentially become a crawl space. The floor of the ground floor would then also be a beam ceiling.
The beam ceiling would be insulated like the exterior wall. A membrane and cement fiberboard would be installed at the bottom against rising moisture.
Are such constructions sustainably stable?
Is a strip foundation to be discouraged?
Best regards
