Does it make any sense to talk about the foundations and the upper structures as being separately insurable ? Can foundations be reused ?

I assume the foundations are concrete, and the rest is wood, cardboard and any combination of the two, so I could see that the foundation would survive a fire

  • Get out of here, who is building a home out of cardboard?

    • Drywall is two sheets of paper/cardboard cladding (increasingly) low density gypsum.

      Soundproofing material is also often made of cardboard (though we do have alternatives for that, unlike drywall).

Maybe? I think its highly dependent on the age of the home and the willingness to reuse the outer plan to rebuild the home.
