Footing Framing – What It Is and Why It Matters

What Is Footing Framing?
Footing framing refers to the process of setting up the wooden forms that shape and contain the concrete footings for a building. These footings are crucial — they distribute the weight of the structure to the ground and provide stability.

At Marchi Carpentry, we prepare footing forms with high precision to ensure proper depth, alignment, and spacing. This stage is one of the most important parts of the foundation process, as mistakes here can impact the entire project.

Even though we don’t offer footing as a regular service, we believe it’s essential to educate homeowners and builders about it, especially since we often begin our framing work right after the footings are poured.

✅ You’ll typically see us arrive on site as soon as the concrete cures — ready to start framing the walls.
