residential crawl space foundations

[SPNC816]

I'm new to residential design and have a cost question. Is it cheaper/easier to pick up load bearing walls on triple/double lvls or 2x10 dropped girders and CMU piers in crawl spaces? Any help wouuld be appreciated. I'm in NC.

From your description, my house sounds like it has the latter of the two. My house is about 40 years old though so I couldn't tell you if its' the more efficent of the two.
