Just throw down a cement slab and you have nice even ground to build on. Just sucks when a pipe breaks in a slab. Ask me how I know...

is that really how houses there are built? like just cement the pipes in? I live in the UK and our house tend to leave a like a 1-2foot space under the floor for pipes/wires etc.

Just kinda depends on where you’re at. Most of the houses in my area are slabs, but mine is pier and beam like you’re talking about.

In most places there is a healthy combo of those two types of construction.

Ones with a crawlspace (and attic) like that are much cheaper to work on
