A concrete footing for the construction of a wall is created by the placement of a guide member with a series of very large holes, which is supported with adjustable threaded stake supports.This guide is situated along a location which will become the top surface of that footing, typically within the confines of a footing trench. Concrete is conventionally placed via a pump through the large holes thus filling the trench void up to the guide element underside.Adjacent guides are attached with plastic connectors which also fixture vertical reinforcing elements which disassemble to strip guides, typically immediately after concrete has been placed.

Site engineering for a structure always includes engineering considerations for about bearing points of a structure.

After site selection, soils experts are called in to determine the depth and which the foundation must be placed in order in to accommodate all live and dead loads. Dead loads are easily assessed but the live loads are much more difficult to determine. Another consideration during this course of construction would be the relationship between the height of the building.
