Monolithic Concrete Slab
The “monolithic” or “turndown” slab is an increasingly common choice for house foundations.
This type of slab is one in which the footings and the floor of the house form a continuous, unified concrete foundation.
For most houses, the entire pour of concrete ─ footings and floor ─ is done in one day.
The monolithic slab is the least expensive type of foundation you can build ─ as long as expensive site preparation is not involved.
