Every material you need for foundations — and how to size it.
Foundations carry the whole building, so the materials must be right. Here is the checklist from excavation to surface bed.
| Item | Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Concrete (25 MPa) | footings | cement+sand+stone |
| Y-bar & mesh | reinforcing | per engineer |
| DPC & plastic | damp-proofing | under slab |
