This case study features the construction of owner/builder Scott Murray's raised wood floor home in St. Augustine, Florida. Murray wanted a home with height and curb appeal. He chose to forego the slab-on-grade construction typical for Florida in favor of a raised wood floor over a closed crawl space. Murray says a raised wood floor helps to protect his home from moisture and pests, and offers better access for foundation inspections, underfloor repairs and retrofits.
