I have sewers running beneath my land, I have spoken to the water authority

who have allowed me to build a structure which requires no or minimal

foundations.

I have been thinking about prefab houses, but this requires digging such as a

raft (top soil taken off then 60cm concrete slab).

Another one which I have seen is this freight container type structure

(click on link for a video demonstration) which is placed ontop of a

removable 3 foot by 3 foot concrete slabs as shown in film in this link:

Does anyone know a structure which I could put on my land to live in

which doesn't require foundations or minimal foundations?

Please give any suggestions you may have.

Thanks :)

Sorry Shabba, I was in a fun mood and it was either an rv or a tent. But Scuba's right. If you can't put in a foundation then a double wide mobile home might work well. And it's kind of a glorified RV, LOL, but nowdays a good one looks like many houses.

Ahh I was scratching my head as to what and RV was, then I saw and wasn't

to impressed lol the mobile home looks good enough.

But what do you guys think about this freight container type structure?

I think they look pretty solid and actually look like a home, but I have

never

seen one of these ever!! I wonder what it would be like to live in one of

these??
