Boron treatment floor just exposed to the outside maybe h3.2 tanalised floor joist

Stop putting so many batts in new housing its hot as F!! The entire house is full of batts don't need it under the floor as well wtf.

How do you avoid termites?

Quick question: what type of insulation do you use underneath the subfloor and what do you cover it with to protect against animals, insects etc.

I'm in British Columbia, near Vancouver, I'd love to build a house in a dense forest around tall, mature, second growth trees. Will this method preserve the root structure and of these trees and not interrupt their ability to absorb water?

I'm not an expert. But I think the silver paper used underfloor is now illegal in NZ for anyone watching this 7 yrs on. :)

very well explained. thank you

Is this good in freezing/cold conditions like Canadian harsh weather?

Why not use piers and grade beams? Should have been much cheaper than a retention wall and dirt being trucked out.

What are you gonna do with the very buttom? are you gonna add there ground or?

Wait, you just bury the beams in the ground? Out here we use concrete footings and the beams are attached to those. Even treated wood will rot if stuck in the ground.

Hey mate, I am looking at subdividing. How can I contact you?

Thanks mate..

We do this in USA. Very good way to build a house

Nice video, what do you use to "Anchor" the Bearers to the Timber posts?

Interested to know if the typical cost of around $100,000 that you mentioned is including construction.

Shambolic foundation. No bracing/laughable connectors. Just slide off in earthquakes. Christchurch found out the hard way.

How much joist OC

could have used stilts. problem solved on cost ;)

This never happens on our experience with key2

I hope we had a same experience as yours but unfortunately we experienced the worst.

I love pier foundations, but If I was in charge of building codes in your area, I would have a fit. In an area that is prone to earthquakes, that house would just shake off the foundation as there is nothing to keep them upright. You need diagonal bracing on all of the piers to keep them from collapsing to the side.

fk me you kiwis are backward. lol

What keeps the house from racking side to side?

True, once dirt is dug up it expands quiet a lot

Thanks mate! Lookin' good

Hi, I am looking to build on a slope… How much per square foot would you estimate it would cost for the entire project?

Just for a matter of interest, how deep are those pile posts planted, and are they anchored to the bottom with a concrete foot?

Please work on your Te Reo pronounciation 👍🏽

That was very helpful! Thanks Tim! :)
