- All floors at the garage level are poured, reinforced concrete and the crawl space under the home is also poured concrete.
- The foundation is constructed with 8" engineered steel pilings embedded in bedrock, and anchored onto a reinforced concrete perimeter foundation on both the garage level and the second split level.
- A special concrete tub was built adjacent to the downstairs bedroom as part of the foundation. Originally intended to be a koi pond, it could be repurposed as a large hot tub. It is currently under the decking.
