Sustainability Meets Strength: Choose Ground Frame Foundations
Ground Frame foundations provide a sustainable, low-impact solution that doesn’t compromise strength or performance. Our adaptable designs work with your project’s unique landscape, minimizing soil disturbance, maintaining natural water flow, and mitigating the need for remediation.
Harnessing Nature’s Strength
By harnessing the strength of the earth’s soil, just like tree roots, the Ground Frame foundation system pipes will secure and stabilize your foundation, minimizing environmental impact while providing a durable and long-lasting solution
Setting the Standard for Transparency
By obtaining the Declare Label in 2018, Ground Frame has been a market leader, championing transparency in building materials. The Declare Label demonstrates alignment with other requirements within the Living Building Challenge and Core Green Building Certification, as well as LEED and WELL certifications.
Building a Sustainable Future, Today: Ground Frame in Action
The developers of The Greens prioritized modern living with environmental preservation. By employing Ground Frame foundations, they achieved this balance, ensuring a secure foundation without disrupting groundwater flow.
Using Ground Frame in The Greens neighborhood also allowed for higher density construction than initially planned, maximizing residential capacity while maintaining ample space for native vegetation and rain gardens that emulate the natural landscape.
Ground Frame foundations are ideal for detached accessory dwelling units (DADUs), which are often built on existing properties with limited space, wooded areas, or underground utilities. With Ground Frame, homeowners can skip costly excavation, concrete pouring, and backfill, making it a sustainable and efficient alternative to traditional foundations.
