your architectural-house-plan will include footings, foundation, and pouring cementIn considering your foundation for your architectural-house-plan, there are a few things you need to think about before starting your foundation. 1 – How wide will your foundation be? 2 – Are you placing a brick, stone or rock facing on your home? 3 – Are you using imitation facing on your home? Brick, stone or rock require support from the foundation and so a wider foundation has to be poured. 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.
