Build a foundation with hand tools, perfect for green homes

A solid foundation that reaches deep into the ground without digging holes or pouring concrete! Installation is simple. The precast concrete head is installed at the ground surface, and steel bearing pins are driven through the head and into the ground using simple hand-held tools. This is the best way to install a reliable and durable foundation that will last the lifetime of your structure.


Using the Diamond Pier DP-100 to support residential structures reduces concrete use by 70 to 80%, and by eliminating excavation, dramatically reduces the carbon footprint of conventional construction, saves precious topsoil, and preserves natural drainage.


The foundation is simple and quick to install, with no site grading or special skills, and creates a wood skirted, vented crawl space or open post and beam superstructure, supported on the piers. This superstructure can stand alone, or be integrated with slab on grade garage construction, and can be constructed in most native penetrable soils.
