The Tiny House Building it Right - ICC 2024
My expertise in the industry lead me to this fantastic opportunity to share my experience and knowledge to help create the "Alternative Foundation Systems"* section of the book for published by https://shop.iccsafe.org/the-tiny-house-building-it-right-from-the-publisher-of-the-building-codes.html) for Tiny Home building & construction code development throughout the US and other countries. ICC is the leading global source of model codes and standards and building safety solutions. ICC, in partnership with THIA (Tiny Home Industry Association), has collaborated to comprehensively grasp and outline the construction standards for Tiny Homes. This publication promises to revolutionize the industry, providing an invaluable blueprint for municipalities across the nation to embrace new building codes inspired by the insights within this guidebook.". When Dan Fitzpatrick and Brad Wiseman, the President and the CEO of THIA turned to me to ask help write the chapter on alternative foundations for Tiny Homes, I was honored and thrilled to help out!
My team's innovative foundation systems offer substantial savings for property owners, developers, builders, and financial institutions involved in the Tiny Home and Manufactured Home industry. I'm excited to announce the expanded distribution of our Central Piers foundation systems tailored specifically for these industries.
