So this is my thought... And I am not an engineer so, ask one if this works... Why not do a girder under the floor trusses and cantalever (however you spell that) the outside wall 4' or so? Might take a hip roof and 2x12's on 12" centers but like you said, you are not the first guy to want to build too close to a big tree. I do not see where this would not work. Maybe it gets your footer far enough away from the root system. Is the engineer a buddy of yours or did you hire him?Yes, I am in Charleston.
