The Pier and beam foundation is also referred to as the footings which are the columns that are constructed to hold this structure.

How to Build a Pier and Beam Foundation
The construction of pier and beam foundations is done methodically as follows.

Step 1: Dig Holes & Pour In Gravel
First of all, you should dig holes in the ground according to the design of the layout of the building. Once the holes are drilled as per the design, their surface is compacted. And a layer of gravel of 100 mm is placed at the bottom. Then, it is properly compacted.
