Footing and Framing

  • Footings and Framing go hand and hand. The best way to frame the ADU is for the same contractor to install the footing and rough framing at the same time. 

  • Save time and ask the framer to provide an estimate for the installation of any required footings and all the rough framing.

FOOTINGS

The plans will call for a 12" or 24" Footing for a garage conversion to ADU. If you want to find out if the garage has footings watch this video.  If the garage does not have a footing this is the process to take in order to pass the rough inspection
