Slab Home Plans

Slab house plans are the easiest foundation type. They are flat concrete pads poured directly on the ground. They take very little site preparation, very little formwork for the concrete and very little labor to create. They work well on level sites in warmer climates where Beach or Coastal, Sunbelt, Florida style, or Adobe style house plans are built. House plans with slab foundations have problems up north because the ground freezes in the winter and this freezing can shift the slab at worst and at least lead to cold floors in the winter. One downside, they offer no space for extra storage or future growth if necessary.
