Hey guys new to the forum.

My house is a 65x15 mini home.
It has a 15x20 addition on the side.
I have a full footing and 5" of cinderblock foundation.
I was wondering what it would cost to lift the home and add 3" to the foundation with a knee wall.
I am looking for a rough estimate, and if it would be worth doing,
If I go ahead with the foundation I am going to pour a slab underneath and dimple the walls for condensation.
I would like to finish part of it eventually but for now just to have the room underneath would be nice.

Let.me know what you guys think.

Thanks.
 
Welcome!
The structural engineer and the house mover will be the major part of the cost, and there are not many here.

However, you can find both in your area here;http://www.thebluebook.com
