Stable Foundation for a Passive Home
Precise Soil Analysis (Optional Based on Client Needs)
The foundation is the cornerstone of any passive home, and proper site preparation is crucial for long-term stability and energy efficiency. At Axion Haus, we recommend performing comprehensive geotechnical tests to evaluate soil bearing capacity, groundwater levels, and other essential factors. However, if the client already has these tests or prefers to use existing data, we offer soil analysis as an optional service, ensuring that the foundation is tailored precisely to the specific site conditions.
Luxury Passive Home Projects

Our key processes include:
Optional Geotechnical Testing:
If the client does not have current soil tests, we can arrange for a professional evaluation of soil strength, groundwater levels, and overall geotechnical properties.
The data gathered allows us to design a foundation that is optimized for local conditions, which is critical for the building’s long-term stability.
Customized Foundation Solutions:
Based on the geotechnical data (or available information), we select the most appropriate foundation system—whether it’s a slab, strip footings, or specialized foundations designed for flood-prone or hurricane-prone regions.
This customized approach ensures the most effective use of materials and maximizes the overall energy efficiency of the home.
Advanced Foundation Insulation:
We incorporate state-of-the-art waterproofing membranes and insulation materials with low thermal conductivity to minimize heat loss right from the foundation.
By improving the thermal envelope from the ground up, we contribute significantly to the overall energy savings of the building.
Adaptation to Local Conditions:
Each foundation is designed with regional specifics in mind, whether in flood-prone areas, hurricane zones, or regions with challenging soil conditions.
We use only materials and technologies that comply with the latest construction standards, ensuring safety and longevity.
