This video documents the process of excavating and laying out the footings for a house foundation. The crew uses a laser level to ensure all footings are dug to the proper depth. They mark out the footing locations, dig with an excavator, and square up the corners by hand. Reinforcing rebar is cut and bent into shape. Grade stakes are installed to lay out the wall locations. Some footings need extra soil removed to properly center the walls. By catching errors in the layout, extra work is avoided. Once the footings are fully excavated, the site is prepared for laying the concrete.

Wow, what an opportunity to have a client with his own excavation/earthworks company. Not only do you have experts doing all of the very complex earthworks and footing for that incredibly complex house layout (even clearing out all the soil to get it our of your way), you get to watch and learn sooo much from true pros! Man...if you could even find that kind of training somewhere you couldn't afford to put your entire crew through the training. What a gift. That apprentice is truly getting his summer's worth of learning and experience! And of course you're building a relationship with someone who will be an amazing contact for both subbing out complex jobs to and consulting with on excavation and footing jobs you're doing yourselves. What an exciting project. That house with that view is going to be absolutely amazing...

FYI, next time you want to see if something fits, place a 4x8 sheet on the ground and do an aerial photo with your drone. Then you can photoshop that known dimension around to see if it all fits before you set pins and such. This helps on uneven terrain as all you have to do is make sure the face of the 4x8 sheet is level.

99% of our houses are slab on grade here in Phoenix, Arizona. We just drop our grades on the outside of buildings, patios are poured 4-6” lower than top of interior slab, grading drops a couple inches off of that. We mostly have stucco though, so as long as the weep screed is not buried we dont have to worry as much. Very dry climate as well. In most buildings this ends up as having 6- 12” of stem wall or side of the slab (if monolithic) showing above grade before you hit weep screed for the stucco. As long as the grade flows away from the house we rarely have issues.

Looks like a BIG house. In the southern UK, most footings have to be 3 feet / 1 metre deep. I was managing my friends non-conforming building repurposing. The contractors were there for 4 days and I dismissed them, for only going down 1 foot to avoid them moving a drain. Daft thing was they put a piece of wood panelling over it in an attempt to hide it. Once again in the UK we had to check the noise on our gearboxes, using a sound meter. At that time we had to be 1.5 metres from the gearbox to record the noise level. Take care and be safe 👍

As an ex-builder here in Oz, we always used lime for mark outs. Even if it got wet it was still easily visible (not sure if Johno would survive lime though🤣) I sure miss my building days & even though I am near retirement (& currently unemployed) I've been considering pulling the nail bag back on even if it is just part time building maintenance. Been looking forward to this build since seeing the plans, I love different stuff! 👍

I'm only half way through, but got to say the descriptions of how the laser level works was well described! 👍 Although I found that knocking the legs has just as much an impact on a laser as an optical level, you just won't notice the potential change in the laser level as it's automatically adjusted.... It just might not have adjusted itself to the same level, probably not much difference, but could make a difference. Great work gents!

I always tell clients that it never hurts to spend extra money on footings, especially when you’re building a house on engineered fill or on a hill like this one. Another way to really make the house bulletproof is to drill small caissons in the footings down to bedrock, and then tie those in with the footing steel. But some clients don’t understand the complexities of building a home in the hills. You should invest in a lenker rod with a sliding cut and fill tape on it that way you can carry the elevations around with you on the rod. Just makes it easier, instead of always having to figure out finish floor, sub grade, etc, it’s all right there. Great video guys, thanks! 💪👊👍

@rocksy71 2 ай бұрын

Loving the new build, it may be an idea to get this chap to do all of your digging. In the future. The time you would save in having a professional digging, the footings against the hire of a digger for a week may be advantageous unless of course you use Jasons bulldozer shuffle, Move, LOL. Like everybody else I’m watching your channel from the UK it’s just bloody different how you guys do it over there?

Jamie, not unheard of. Down in south Florida everything is CMU unfortunately in the older house it’s either plaster or just 3/4 strips up the cmu on the interior for drywall. Some new houses will be kind enough to put the treated furring strips along with the treated 1x6 down low so you have something to nail into.

My grandfather was a surveyor and I remember him teaching me some of it. #1 thing was to never "grip" the sight pole because griping it can induce a little tilt, but if you create a ring with your 2 hands around the pole and you get the pole to basically balance itself (letting gravity level it)....it will always be perfectly vertical. Thou this was forever ago and the one you're using doesn't look like that's even feasible.....maybe add a counter balance to the reader?
