When my house was built, I saw they built four sides of wall to support garage, same height as the basement wall, as if there is a big room under the garage. Then later, the inside the basement-wall, concrete was poured. while inside the "garage-basement wall " the clay was put back.

In Edmonton, builders usually pour concrete footings instead of foundation walls for the garage but in some cases, at the request and extra costs of the home buyers, the builders would do the same as you've seen on your house. So, carroll, you have a house of better and stronger structure, congratulation.

谢谢你的提醒,已经问过了,说是用螺丝钉,也要用射钉枪。现在给全部用螺丝钉的好像已经不是很多了。

so what difference between concrete footings and foundation walls? are they in same depth? maybe walls are continous but footings are not?
6 L3 Y$ Z$ A5 G/ ?$ L! vJust like what carroll had described, three concrete walls are built at both sides and front of the garage outlines, the 4th one in between the house and garage is a common wall, they are like a structural extension from the house foundation of same wall height and depth and together form as one piece unit but this section is later backfilled with clay, then on top of the walls, 2x4 or 2x6 wood frame are built the same way as they build the house. Footings are quite different, no excavation is required, they are built just at the grade; what you see under the 2x4/2x6 walls/above grade is pretty much what it is.
2 i4 k7 _! V. ^3 vAre you sure? I am quite surprised to know that daytona/landmark built garages this way, it is not their usual practice, really, if so, it must be part of the architectural controls. If you are not asked to pay extra, probably it is included in the pricing and the builder just had not told you of that. Check you blueprints and you would know if your garage had footings or foundations. The 6 holes that sterling homes made actually had nothing to do with footings or foundations, they were for pouring of concrete pilings underneath the garage floor.

双车房的我看过一般都是四PILES,六根的比较少见. I think the nos. of piles related to the weights of the cars parked, nothing to do with attached or detached.
our house has a large bonus room upper the garage. But I never see they built a foundation like this for garage (Challenger Home), is it ok? Can we put the piano in the bonus room later- is it strong enough to support? Thanks
