Resumen del Editor
From the ground up—how to choose the proper foundation for your dream home, even with zero experience in the construction industry
Are you in the process of building your dream house and want to know the best foundation to use?
Does building a custom home appeal to you, and you’d like to be actively involved in the process?
This is most likely your first home, and you don’t want to mess up the foundation—so you want to know how to do it right.
Remember that a building is only as tall as its foundation.
Getting a building’s footing right is key in preventing structural issues in the future.
The foundation distributes the weight of the home, ensuring the subsoil doesn’t spread away from the structure and cause unbalanced settlement.
Whether you’re a project manager or a self-build guy or girl, it’s imperative to double-check all the building’s groundwork details.
Not all foundations are made the same...and the requirements differ based on many factors.
If you’re on the journey to homeownership, then consider making a stop here and learning foundation basics so that you can proceed with great confidence and grit.
In Laying a Solid Foundation, you’ll discover:
- How to pick the right location for your new construction project to avoid future issues, ranging from fatal building collapses to expensive repairs
- How to survey your lot—determine and locate the actual corners of the foundation to complete the design process
- A guide to understanding how your lot’s soil properties affect the footing used...and how to choose the right one based on where you live
- How to factor in the building’s load and the ground’s load bearing capacity when choosing the proper foundation
- Cost implications for the different foundation types to help you plan your finances and stick to your budget
- Expert-recommended design practices for the different footing types—and how to maintain your home’s structural integrity
- How to create a winning team of the best installation professionals to help you bring your dream to life
- How to prepare for the foundation installation process to ensure you don’t stall or delay the process
And much more.
You don’t have to be an engineer to take an interest in foundations—even as a homeowner, having some background knowledge will go a long way in getting you the house you’ve always desired.
If you want to maximize your home’s value, you need to choose the most effective foundation for the project.
Even if your house is on the top of a hill inclined at a 45-degree angle, a solid foundation will ensure it stays level.
Wondering where to start?
Don’t worry—everything you need to know about home foundations is right inside.
If you want to build a house that’ll last for centuries, then scroll up and buy now to get started today.

We live in a world of seeds. From our morning toast to the cotton in our clothes, they are quite literally the stuff and staff of life, supporting diets, economies, and civilizations around the globe. Just as the search for nutmeg and the humble peppercorn drove the Age of Discovery, so did coffee beans help fuel the Enlightenment and cottonseed help spark the Industrial Revolution. And from the fall of Rome to the Arab Spring, the fate of nations continues to hinge on the seeds of a Middle Eastern grass known as wheat.

Is bourbon the quintessential American liquor? Bourbon is not just alcohol - the amber-colored drink is deeply ingrained in American culture and tangled in American history. From the early days of raw corn liquor to the myriad distilleries that have proliferated around the country today, bourbon is a symbol of the United States. This course traces bourbon's entire history, from the 1700s, with Irish, Scottish, and French settlers setting up stills and making distilled spirits in the New World, through today's booming resurgence.

Every country in the world has a special relationship with wine and takes a unique approach to the making, serving, and enjoying of it. Wine is an expression of the hopes, dreams, and cultures of the people who make it, so what better way to learn about the countries of the world than by learning about their wines?

DELIVERS EXACTLY WHAT IT PROMISES
An outstanding audiobook that offers a thoughtful and thorough roadmap for anyone starting the process of building their ideal house. The "foundation" and all the evaluating and building processes are the main points of focus. Being an independent contractor feels like a lot of responsibility, but I appreciate that this book outlines all the things you can do to save time, money, and hassle. You receive responses to inquiries such as how to pick the best piece of land, how to create a site plan, and how to manage insurance, building permits, and other issues. This book fulfills its promise in spades.

From the very beginning, the author's passion and expertise shine through, making the subject matter accessible and engaging even if you have little to no experience in the construction industry. The book takes a step-by-step approach, starting from selecting the ideal location and surveying the lot to understanding soil properties and load-bearing capacities. I had been considering this topic for a while but had no idea where to start. Now I feel confident enough to start things rolling!

An exceptional book
An exceptional book that provides a step-by-step manual for constructing a home from the ground up. As someone who was unaware of the intricate details involved in the home-building process, this book served as an eye-opening revelation. The author emphasizes the significance of entrusting the construction to reliable subcontractors, shedding light on the unfortunate consequences of cutting corners and opting for the cheapest option.
What sets this book apart are the real-life anecdotes shared, particularly one concerning a homeowner who faced significant issues years after the completion of their home due to shortcuts taken by their contractors. It highlights the fact that compromising quality can result in higher costs in the long run.
The author also imparts practical knowledge about maintaining a home after its construction. For instance, they mention the importance of a warm floor when the heating system is functioning correctly. This advice proved invaluable, as it helped me understand a recent incident my parents experienced with their overly heated floors, which turned out to be an error by their contractor. Being aware of such issues is vital, and this book equips readers with such crucial knowledge.
"Building Your Dream Home" covers a range of topics, including the pros and cons of having a basement, attic, or crawl space, addressing factors such as cost, hygiene, and overall health considerations within the home. It is a comprehensive resource that leaves no stone unturned.
Having gained inspiration and knowledge from this book, I am eager to embark on my own home-building journey. The practical suggestions and insights presented within its pages make it a valuable guide that I will refer back to in the future.

Well done Kris Land!
How to Build Your Dream Home Laying a Solid Foundation, by Kris Land is the real deal. It's a thorough audiobook for the novice home builder. So much goes into doing it right. From the site to the foundation to the permits required -hiring people who you can trust is paramount- so you must do your homework! Sometimes if the contractors cut corners, problems can arise immediately...or worse, after months or years.
Money is an important consideration but just getting the cheapest person to do a job is not the best idea. (as Land points out with the real-life situations and examples he presents.) Knowledge is power- if you are building a house or know someone who is this is the perfect listen.

Excellent details on building your dream home!
I have been interested in building my own home for some time now but was hesitant because the internet searches yielded far to much information. This book is a great place to start as it is super comprehensive on this important foundational step. I am surely getting the other books by this author! This book definitely gives me more confidence that I can do it too! Knowledge is power!
I enjoyed the narrators voice too. It seems spot on to me for this type of book!
I highly recommend this audible book!
