Is it possible to build a permanent foundation under a home that has already been set? We are looking at an existing home on acreage and would like it on a permanent foundation. Thanks.

Sid , this is a regular occurrence but it is a costly one, what is involved is to "temporary block" the home and then "hand dig" the pillow footings ,pour or pump the comcrete in the holes and then reset the home, and then brick the skirting wall.
on an average you would be looking at $3000.00-$4000.00 ( not counting brick) depending on the soil.
