What is a Concrete Podium?

Building a beach home 15ft+ in the air requires a secondary foundation, or podium, elevated above the ground. For those seeking a more structurally resilient home capable of withstanding hurricane forces, constructing a concrete podium on concrete pilings is an excellent alternative to a standard timber podium. At American Villas, we've helped many clients strengthen their homes by building custom concrete podiums. With experience in over a dozen types of concrete podiums, we are Galveston's leading experts in FORTIFIED construction.
