Building a Foundation on a Floodplain

It's not easy building on a floodplain, especially one bordering a regulatory floodway. Still, that's the challenge custom builder Michael Frieburger, owner and director of design and development for NEWLOOK Design|Build + Development, took on with the Experience Home, part of Pro Builder Media's IDEA Home series. Using a carefully engineered system, Michael and his team are building a foundation that will avoid the problem of floodwater altogether-by setting the home above it. It's complicated and work heavy, but effective.
In our inaugural video on the home's construction-in what will be a series of videos that share real-time insights and lessons from the project's construction site-hear our builder explain just how it is he and his team managed to outthink this tricky problem.
