Re: WoodShop structure Slab vs pier and beam


 

I would think the cost would be significantly more for the pier and beam versus a slab.

Subject: [FOG] WoodShop structure Slab vs pier and beam

?

Looking to get some feedback on the type of floor structure for a woodshop, especially slab vs pier and beam (standard home floor).

I looked online and it appears a pier and beam can be made strong enough to support heavy machinery.

I am not looking for any engineering design or calculation, someone will do it for me if I need, just for pro and cons if any and if this is a good idea or something I should run from it.

Thanks,

Bill
