In considering the footings for your architectural-house-plan, there are a few things you need to think about before starting your footings setup.
- How wide will your foundation for your house plan be?
- Are you placing a brick, stone or rock facing on your home?
- Are you using imitation facing on your home plan?
Brick, stone or rock require support from the foundation and so forms for footings will be a wider concrete footings and foundations which will have to be poured when using any of them.
If you are using faux rock, brick, or stone there are different requirements. Since faux products are lighter in weight, generally they require very little support from the foundation.
There are some very realistic looking materials that many home builders are using today even though they build a simple house plan.
