Post on Pad

Post on pad foundation is a grid system of girders (beams), posts, and concrete footings/pads used in construction to elevate the superstructure above the ground plane or grade. The posts serve as columns for the superstructure. Post bases can also be adjustable in height.

Note: Use the Hillside Foundation option if the residence is suspended over a hillside.

Note: When entering this foundation type you must enter the following:

  • Foundation Type including the percentage (must total at least 100%)
  • Foundation Material (treated wood is the only suitable entry for Post on Pad, even though there are other options)
