        "text": "If a site evaluation shows shallow bedrock, unstable soil, steep slopes, or access limits, you have practical engineering choices to evaluate. You can adjust the home’s footprint to build on a flatter area, invest in specialized engineered foundations (such as post-and-beam, stepped stem walls, or rock-anchor designs), or execute engineered cut-and-fill grading. Comparing the cost of extensive earthwork against altering the building dimensions allows you to choose the most cost-effective solution before committing to structural steel manufacturing.",
