Maronda builds new homes with two foundation types: basement foundations and slab foundations. Learn more about types of construction here.
A slab foundation for a new home is a solid concrete slab that is typically poured directly onto the ground, often with a layer of gravel or insulation underneath for stability and to prevent moisture issues. The walls of the house are then built directly on top of this slab. Slab foundations are common in areas with stable soil conditions and where the frost line is shallow. They’re simpler and less expensive to construct compared to other types of foundations like crawl spaces or basements.
A basement foundation for a new home is like a big underground room that supports the entire house. It’s usually made of concrete walls and floor below ground level. Basements can be used for extra living space, storage, or as utility areas. Basements provide additional square footage to a home and can offer protection during severe weather events.
We offer both Move-In-Ready homes and To-Be-Built homes in every division here at Maronda. Also commonly referred to as an “inventory home,” “spec home,” “quick move-in” or “quick delivery home,” a move-in ready home is a newly constructed residence created at the builder’s discretion.
The most popular form of new home construction, and commonly referred to as a “buildable plan,” a to-be-built home refers to a property that is not yet constructed but is planned or in the process of being built based on your preferences and specifications. Read our blog post here to learn more.
All Maronda Homes constructed after 11/2024 include our comprehensive Smart Home Package -Smart home technology seamlessly integrates into your life, making daily tasks more efficient, convenient, and secure.

These innovations save you time, energy, and money while enhancing comfort and peace of mind. Learn more here.
