Check with you lender also as they might have some requirement to what type of foundation.

If your builder is any good they should know that permanent foundations must meet HUD/FHA standards. If they don't know, get another builder. You can also contact any structural engineering firm. They know all about them.

I have a client who has a ERB (Earthquake Resistant Bracing) System on their property. Does that count as a perm foudation?
