That is what is under this geotextile and crushed stone.

Had to get an engineer to spec a fix as they ran into some running water during excavation. Expensive house for the size due to the type construction.

Can't say that i've ever seen house wrap in a footer. Interesting fix. Did it pass?

This looks like an extremely efficeint home for energy. What is the R-value of the floor assembly? Are those ICF around the perimeter? Where is a vapor barrier on this application, under the foam panels?
