Sure, because they are trying to minimize concrete. A huge block of concrete always works, the same as a big tower works in place of a little tower. I'm trying to envision a situation where replacing dirt with concrete causes an issue....

That said, it's not THAT hard to do a pad & pier. You have to be ready when the concrete comes, same as always.

Even if you are not getting a permit, changing the foundation is asking, in my

foundation and it is pages of heavy duty stress/strain formulaes.
