Foundation profile
| Principle | Poured concrete footings below the frost line carry the structure on point supports. |
|---|---|
| Suitability | Heavier cabins, log saunas and lakeside builds needing solid, permanent point support. |
| Soils | Suit most soils when dug to below the local frost line and bearing on firm ground. |
| Frost heave | Excellent when footings reach below the frost line and are properly formed. |
| Drainage | Good — the structure is lifted, with air and drainage beneath the floor. |
| Build difficulty | Advanced |
Concrete piers give heavier and log profiles solid, permanent point support below the frost line. They cost more effort than screws or gravel but carry the loads that mass-timber and glazed builds demand.
