My primary source for foundation decisions is the Builder’s Foundation Handbook [1], by the U.S. Department of Energy Building Envelope Systems and Material (BTESM) Research Program out of Oak Ridge National Laboratory. This resource highlights energy efficiency and cost.

Three basic types of foundation – full, basement, crawl space, and slab-on-grade.[2]

The biggest take away I have from the past couple of days is that building codes and regulations are not easily accessible. There are international , national, regional, county, city and local codes/regulations. All of which are constantly adapting to climate impacts and technology. That said, the below plan is evolving since the information available is piecemeal. Why is it piecemeal? Traditionally when people build, they emulate other local structures. Since one room studios are not common in Missouri, my first look is to code and regulation. Google building code and building regulations and you are directed to local contractors. After frustration, I was able to rangle an informal conversation with an architect here in Alexandria, VA. He confirmed that building code/regulation is not out there for me to peruse. With such confirmation, I am going to post my notes thus far...and continue my research.
Connecting with a local Maysville or St. Joseph contractor would be ideal.
