Footings are the first part of a house that is built, and they stop your house shifting
from its intended position. Every new house and extension will need new footings, the
footings will need to be specified by an engineer (or possibly architect if they are
very straight forward). There are a number of factors which will determine the type of
foundations you will need.
Footings support the weight of your house and therefore hold it together. If unsuitable
footings are built for a house, the end result is that the house will crack, become
unlevel, or in the worst cases eventually become uninhabitable or fall down.
