If you are building a new house, one of the things that you should consider is where you need to place your home’s exterior and front and corner elevations. This is important since a house can not be built from the ground up unless the front and the corner are at right angles to each other.

 In most cases, you will find that your house is going to be put up on a foundation, or on a slab or a block foundation. There may be a need for one of these types of houses depending upon how high up you want your house to be.

 The front and the corner will be on the same level as the top level of the house, which is commonly known as the attic. There are also different levels of a house, which all start at the front and end at the corner and vice versa for the back and the side.

 Now that we know what a house elevation front and corner should look like, we can talk about why this is so important for your house. When a house is placed on a slab or a block foundation, the front and the corner are considering the base. The purpose of the base is to keep out water, snow, rain, and snow melt from the main house while still allowing the floor to be usable for the rest of the house.
