House Foundations – The Pros & Cons of 3 Different Types

There are 3 types of foundations to choose from in New Zealand. You choices depend on the type of home you are building and where you’re building it. A proper foundation does more than just hold a house up. It keeps out moisture, insulates against cold weather and resists movement of the earth around it. One more thing: It should last forever.
