Many villagers always focus on the layout and exterior wall decoration when building houses, ignoring that the foundation is the foundation of the entire house.
Cutting corners in foundation construction and selecting the wrong foundation type can lead to wall cracking and ground settlement after three to five years of occupancy, resulting in extremely high maintenance costs in the later stages.
I have previously written two informative articles, “Complete Approval Process for Building Houses on Rural Homesteads in 2026, One Step at a Time, Avoiding Illegal Buildings and Demolition!” and “Guidelines for Site Selection and Pit Avoidance of Rural Homesteads.
” For those who are unsure about the approval of homesteads and how to choose land parcels, they can take a look first.
Today, specifically for self built houses in plain areas, I will explain the four mainstream foundations, reinforcement standards, concrete grades, excavation of foundation pits, soft soil treatment, demolition of old buildings and construction of new ones, and neighborhood foundation protection, all in accordance with the current regulations for rural house construction, without exaggeration.
