This new home in Scituate sits on driven wood piles, not a solid foundation. In a coastal flood zone, the goal is to lift the living space above the flood elevation and let waves and storm surge move under the house instead of pushing against it. The piles go deep enough to hold even when a storm scours away the sand around them. Designing a new build on the water? Bring us in early and we will carry the structural design and the permits.
