What Is the Difference Between Footings and Foundations?

Footings and foundations work together to support a building, but they serve different purposes. Footings are usually the lowest part of the structure, positioned beneath foundation walls or columns. They spread the building's weight across the ground and help reduce the risk of uneven settlement. Foundations are the wider structural system that transfers loads from the building down to the footings and surrounding ground. The correct design depends on soil conditions, building weight, nearby trees and other site factors. Norfolk Building provides professional groundworks across Norwich, Norfolk and Suffolk, including excavation, footings, foundations and concrete bases for extensions and construction projects.
