Notes

Interesting: Title and scale go below the drawing


Centre lines/ walls of the house – centre lines

Foundation walls/blocks – Continous lines 100 more

Footing – Hidden lines 200 more

The footing is 600mm wide and the foundation blocks are 200 wide.

The yellow is the footing

The red lines is the centre line of the house walls

The black lines is the outlines of the foundation block

Keep in mind, only the walls are shown with the red lines. No doors and windows are shown

This is strip footing or continuous strip footing. Meaning the are no gaps or breaks in the
underground part of the floor. So the shapes are always closed, and if there is a short wall shown in
the floor plan, then there is no real support needed because it is a small/short wall

For pad footing, the walls are always offset twice the size of the column/wall given.

If the column is 200, the pad below (footing) is 200 offset
