When choosing a foundation for buildings of this type, it is very important to approach the process itself seriously and accurately. You will have to take into account many factors that can continue to negatively affect the built house. Groundwater, freezing of the soil, the quality of the soil itself – such factors a huge number.

6. The construction of a pile column foundation will be the best choice if the soil is quite weak. After all, the material itself is very easy.
