When building with a high water table (5-7 feet down) would you be better off doing a slab or foundation?
Answers:
You could so a slab/crawl space, above the ground level using block,. or frame a block area the size of the house you want and pour a thicker slab.
A foundation, if you intend it to be a basement will eventually have water inrusion issues.
