SPECIFICATION AND ESTIMATION NOTES FOR FOUNDATION.RCC FOUNDATION, DETAILED STEPS IN WRITING ESTIMATION

2.  SHALLOW FOUNDATION
 DEEP FOUNDATION

6.  WOOD AS A FOUNDATION MATERIAL MAY LOOK
UNSUITABLE, BUT IT IS USED FOR HOUSE FOUNDATION
IN MANY CASES, WHERE CONCRETE FOUNDATION
BECOMES AN EXPENSIVE OPTION.
 WHEN WOOD USED AS THE FOUNDATION IS PRESSURE-
TREATED AND COATED WITH MULTIPLE CHEMICALS TO
PREVENT ROTTING AND TO KEEP WOOD-EATING PESTS
SUCH AS TERMITES AWAY.
 THE MAIN DRAWBACK OF USING TIMBER FOR
FOUNDATIONS IS THE RISK OF WEAKENING DUE
TO ATTACK BY INSECTS (TERMITES AND BEETLES),
FUNGUS AND RODENTS.
 WOODEN POSTS ON CONCRETE FOOTINGS
 ONLY FOR DRY AREAS WITHOUT TERMITES.
