Foundation plans

A foundation plan is a sketch of the baseline of the entire structure. It represents the view of the structure that looks as if it was planned on a horizontal plane. It is used to show the design and how constructors anticipate building it.

There are some definite “must-haves” that any foundation plan from any company should likely have. If a contractor is missing one of these elements, it might be a good reason to ask more questions and/or get a second opinion before moving forward.

Here’s the list of key items that should be included in a Foundation Repair Anaheim plan. Scaled diagram of your home showing where supports are to be added, the price for the repairs, terms, and conditions.

A foundation plan is a plane view of a structure. That is, it looks as if it were projected onto a horizontal plane and passed through the structure. In the case of the foundation plan, the plane is slightly below the level of the top of the foundation wall. The plan in figures 2-10 shows that the main foundation consists of 12-inch and 8-inch concrete masonry unit (CMU) walls measuring 28 feet (8.53 m) lengthwise and 22 feet (ca. 7 m) crosswise. The lower portion of each lengthwise section of the wall is to be 12 inches (ca. 30 cm) thick to provide a concrete ledge of 4 inches (ca. 10 cm) wide.

The foundation plan is a section view that provides all the information needed by the excavators, mason, carpenter, cement workers/ and others who build the foundation.
The foundation plan is one of the most critical plans in a set of architectural working drawings. If the foundation plan is flawed, the foundation may not be strong enough to support the house. If the foundation fails, major damage to the house can result. Therefore, it is important to understand all the factors that must be considered before the foundation plan can be drawn.

If the foundation is slab on grade or non-standard construction, it is mandatory to submit a professional engineering, stamped design. The checklist enlisted is the minimum requirement for foundation plan drawing & should be used to guarantee that your foundation plan is appropriate.

Also, if you see any support markings that are under the middle of your home as opposed to along the perimeter, you should ask about how the Foundation Repair Anaheim contractor accesses locations under the slab. Foundation repair needed under the interior of the home can cost more and add more time to the repair process.
