Foundation Plan





My foundation plan consisted of two beams along the long side of the home with 16 inch on center joists between them. The surrounding structure was covered in a 12" lap siding trim to weather proof and decorate. Cement blocks were used as a footer under the ground being connected to the pier. A total of 18 piers were used between the main structure and the added porch. This use of stability and efficientcy creates a low costing foundtation plan to support the home.







Revit Floor Plan


Once I obtained basic Revit skills we designed our home in this 3D fashion. The main roof was designed with Asphault Shingles with the smaller porch roof hanging in an outward position. The wood, tile, and carpet flooring was added above the plywood subfloor on the inside of the house, along with cabinets, the stove, sinks, the toilet, and bathtub. The exterior of the house was outfitted with plasterboard siding and a trim along the base. Stairs and the piers were added in order to give the house its height as it lies on a grass topsurface.
