If you want a peace of mind, get a qualified structural engineer to produce the drawing. The fee is not that much just a few hundred. After you have the drawing, get the contractor to quote for you and make sure he follow the drawing correctly during construction. That should be the way rather than let the contractor playing the fool on you.

Those footings are small because they sit on piles (look at d drawing carefully). Neither of those pile caps are suitable for your case, unless u want to pile it first. Get an engineer and let him advice u.
