That means that foundation construction services and foundation piling services often don’t have options to provide the project manager or consumer, but instead need to be able to execute the appropriate foundation type of the site based on all these factors. The overall goal, of course, is to provide the ideal foundation type for the site and building, without being more robust (and therefore higher in cost) than necessary. That is particularly important to understand, as incredibly elaborate and expensive foundations are undoubtedly available, with seismic damping and flexibility, double or triple reinforced connections, and much more, but these are unnecessary expenditures for most foundation construction projects.
