FOOTING DESIGN | MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR DIY
Footings are not necessarily the most visually appealing part of a new home project but they may be the most important. Solid transfer of weight to the earth is the first step in providing that your new house or addition is structurally sound. Before excavation ever begins its essential to have an idea on how big the footings will be and how deep they need to be. Here we jump into the International Residential Code and work through the minimum requirements for footing design along with tips and tricks that I may run across out in the field doing inspections.
Oh, and I also walk through a footing calculator that is available for free download at buildingcodetips.com!
