Screw piles under a ring beam
The house rests all round on a ring beam. For modular buildings an extra line of piles goes under every module joint.
Tiny house foundation
A tiny house on screw piles
A tiny house or modular home is often placed in a single day. The foundation has to be ready by then, without weeks of waiting for concrete. Screw piles can be loaded at once and absorb level differences.
Why no concrete?
- Ready when the modules arrive, no curing time
- Adjustable pile heads absorb level differences
- A ventilated void under the floor
- Even in soft ground: we screw deeper, down to bearing ground
- Removable and reusable if the house moves
Which foundation?
Extendable ground screws
For lighter tiny houses, extendable ground screws are possible, even where firm ground lies deeper.
To the foundation plan
We install the piles exactly to the module builder's plan.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need permission for a tiny house?
That depends on the structure and the location, not on the foundation. Check with your local council.
Can the foundation move with the tiny house?
Yes. We unscrew the piles and they can be reused.
How many piles does a tiny house need?
That depends on the weight, the size and the soil. The pile calculator gives you an indication in one minute.
