| D12 Reinforcing rods and square links are used to form a square cage to hold and strengthen the concrete footing in one piece. |
 |
| A trench is dug out for the footings and framed with boxing timber to contain the concrete pour. This will also form the shape and correct size of the footing. |
 |
| The concrete is poured and screed flush to the boxing timber, this achieves a smooth flat surface for the timber sole plate to sit on. The Timber sole plate is bolted into the concrete footing. |
