hi..
I plan to extend my house DS Semi D:kitchen(1st floor) and room(2nd floor).
I would like to know recommended footing size spec.
base on tom jason, he mention 5x5 size is recommended.
I did ask one of contractor,he mention 3x3 is enough since soil is solid.

first of all, I'm not expert in physics nor construction line. Just that I'm currently renovating my house.
You plan to extend with upper floor, you must get permit from local council together with architectural drawing. It must be fully endorsed by certified architect and engineer. From the drawing, there must have the specification on the foundations. Those experts must have taken into consideration on factors, like soil condition, load factor and future maximal weight bearing...
Can't be wrong if you comply details from them (somehow), else sue them if structure failure!!!
