What Manor property owners are deciding
Builders in Manor often default to the foundation system from their last job, on a lot that is nothing like it. Correcting a foundation after the frame is up costs multiples of designing it correctly first. A foundation engineer reads the soil first, then selects the system, then sizes it.
