I suspect there are no local ordinances in her area and no building inspectors to check (I’m assuming).
My dad lives in an area where the nearest fire department is an hour’s drive away. No local ordinances – but he builds as if there are plenty, for he is his own fire dept. I’m not even sure a fire truck could get to his place.
Concrete is needed for a rest room, a lift, a pit and/or cellar, and for footings - but I would think a person could build something and use a dirt floor for the time being. There were a lot of homes that used dirt floors back in the day. My grandparents said dirt floors were easier to keep clean than today’s floors (I don’t see how). I guess the 3 second rule wasn’t around back then.
