I just thought I would share something that is a-typical of SFR construction in most parts of the country. In Florida, when you build near the intracoastal or on a beach that has a dune and you build on the dune, this is typical for a foundation slab. Auger cast piles go down anywhere from 40'-80' and are capped with grade beams as shown with the slab being poured over the top, although in many instances, this is a monolithic pour. The slab, however, is always above the FIRM BFE and of course the FBC DFE which is 1' of freeboard since they are almost always certainly in the special flood hazard area, including my town which is 100% either VE or AE zone.
