Our modular cabin design makes it easy and straightforward for them to have it completed quickly. Your local electrician and plumber would be responsible for hooking up your utilities: electric, sewer, and water. Since its 3′ deep or below frost level in your area, the ground temperature keeps the pipes from freezing. The access pit should be roughly 6’L x 3’W x 3’D with 3′ of the pit going under the cabin (most likely under the bathroom). Included in the drawing will be details about where you will need to have an access pit to allow for the hookup of your water and sewer. The minimum requirements for your cabin foundation will vary based on your building style, size and some of the other custom options. Please Note: All Double-wide buildings are required to sit on concrete foundations. Foundations For Single-Wide Recreational BuildingsĪ Stone base is the easiest and most cost effective cabin foundation for a non-certified single wide building, a concrete pad is a common foundation as well but either of these are sufficient and will be a great value to the structures lifetime.

Basement Foundation Crawl Space Foundation Don’t Forget:įor your Basement or crawl space foundation our plans will call for your site contractor to install a pressure treated wooden sill plate on top of the concrete foundation wall & also down your center supports (or steel beam if used for a basement) That way our on-site crew can attach the floor joists to the sill plate. A certified modular home requires a solid foundation, you can either do a crawl space foundation or if you want to add more living space or just plain storage the basement option is a great value.
