I'm just wondering if anyone ever uses pilings in Ascension when building?
Really need more info here.
Assuming this is slab on grade construction, your answer is no. If you are worried for some reason you haven't given, you can always have a soil boring test done to see proper compaction before construction. And/or use a post tension slab.

I'm just worried because where I am now, in Jefferson Parish, we use them on every build. I am super sensitive when I am in a house that has a lean, even if it is very slight. I don't want to feel any lean in my new house. It is going to be two stories. But it sure would be nice to save that $30,000 and use it towards buying the lumber! As far as a post tension slab, I know those make the slab stronger, but I don't see how that would stop it from tilting in the future? Thanks for the information
