$21,000 foundation There has to be a better way to get this done!

[Loren Becker]

I recently purchase a house to flip.  I have ran into a snag the foundation is basically nonexistent.  

Two major structural companies have bid the work and have quoted ridiculous pricing.  If I hire a structural

engineer to draw plans then hire a concrete contractor that seems that it would be best way to save a ton of money.

Any one else have a similar problem and how did you solve it.

Any other suggestions?

Thank you,

Loren
