VE zone.

Dirt won't work.

That close to the lake, he'll have to be 12-16' above the base... pilings only and break-away walls if he wants to close in the lower portion.

Insurance won't be out of control.

I've built houses with post tension slabs before, never anything on pilings. What kind of cost would I roughly be looking at? House is approx 2000 sf 1st raised floor.

I figured I would do a slab on grade with house on blocks/concrete columns.

I want a garage, bathroom and large kids playroom/walkout on slab.
