New House Build-Concrete Footings

[BIM_Engineer]

Siteworks and footings are the first stage of your build

I thought I'd share some of the new building photos, data and processes

Its great for linking in all the important info during your build

A special thank you to Shouri and Barry the Builder for sharing

If you require assistance post back or leave a PM

Cheers

Hi;

Thanks for sharing, it's interesting to see how different engineers design strip footings. How deep is the strip and the footings? When I did my build my engineer designed the strip to be 250-300 deep and the footing 600 or 400 if we hit roc, its for a suspended slab.

Strip footing before concrete pour

Block work before corefillSuspended Slab with bondek.

In the coastal areas of Perth the sand soils are quite stable for building on, the single storey footings are 300 wide x 300 deep
the added steel is for crack control as the client intends putting in large porcelain tiles
At an extra cost of a few $'s for the re entrant bars and upgrade mesh, it's well worth the extra,

The sand is also cheap enough to use as fill, I don't get a call for Bondek
