๐ MEANWHILE, HERE ARE

To help you avoid mistakes, here are
7 simple things you must check
during foundation work:
1๏ธ.๐๐
๐ฐ๐ฎ๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐๐ฒ๐ฝ๐๐ต
Your foundation must be deep enough.
At least 600mm (2 feet) for a bungalow.
At least 1000mm (1 meter) for a two-storey building.
At least 1700mm (5 feet 7) for a four -five story building
The soil must be strong enough at that depth to carry the building. And when the is strong,
Shallow foundations introduced. (๐๐๐๐ฉ ๐ฐ๐ณ ๐ข๐๐ฉ ๐๐ค๐ช๐ฃ๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ)
๐๐๐๐ก๐ก๐ค๐ฌ ๐๐ค๐ช๐ฃ๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ are used when the soil near the ground surface is strong enough to support the building's load. They are typically wider than they are deep and are more common for smaller structures and residential buildings.
WHILE ...
๐ฟ๐๐๐ฅ ๐๐ค๐ช๐ฃ๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ are necessary when the soil near the surface is weak or unstable and cannot support the structure's weight. (๐ฅ๐๐ก๐ ๐๐ค๐ช๐ฃ๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ ๐๐ก๐)

Mortar is for laying blocks, not for foundation.
Never place blocks directly on bare soil with mortar.
Always cast proper foundation concrete (blinding) first with appropriate mixture and Accurate footing inchs. (4-9 ๐๐๐โ๐ , ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐)
3๏ธ.๐๐ผ๐๐ป๐ฑ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐๐ฒ๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐
Make your foundation high enough to prevent flooding.
Donโt rely on road level only check the area and nearby houses.
4. ๐๐ฃ๐ (๐ท๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐)
A good DPM nylon prevents water from soaking your floor.
Never skip it,it protects your finishing from dampness.
5.๐๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐ถ๐น๐ถ๐๐ & ๐ฆ๐๐ฎ๐ฏ๐ถ๐น๐ถ๐๐
Your foundation must be strong to carry the load of the house.
Use quality materials that will last.
6๏ธ. ๐๐ฐ๐ฐ๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐
Mistakes in foundation affect the entire building.
Always ensure the foundation is straight, square, and well measured.

For bigger buildings, only a qualified structural engineer can decide the right depth after soil tests. Donโt guess.
