Been going back and forth on this one for a while now. We're planning to build a new house next spring, and I'm stuck deciding between a concrete slab or a crawl space. I've heard slabs are cheaper upfront and less hassle with moisture issues, but then again, crawl spaces give you easier access to plumbing and wiring if something goes wrong later on. Plus, my uncle swears by crawl spaces because he says they're warmer underfoot in winter (though honestly, he's always cold, so who knows).
I guess I'm leaning slightly toward the slab for simplicity's sake, but I'm worried about regretting it down the line if we ever need repairs or want to change something. And then there's the whole radon thing—heard mixed opinions on which is better for that.
Anyone here built recently or have experience living with either one? Curious what you'd choose if you were building right now and why.
