Strip foundation: Poured only along the perimeter of the load-bearing walls. It is cost-effective and used on firm, non-landslide-prone soils. Monolithic slab: Concrete is poured across the entire footprint of the building. It is ideal for weak soils as it distributes the structural load evenly. Pile foundation: Used on complex, landslide-prone terrains and slopes. Specialized drills go deep into the ground until they reach stable rock strata, where concrete columns (piles) are then cast.

Vertical formwork (for columns and walls) can be removed in 2–3 days since the load on them is minimal. However, horizontal soffit formwork (for slabs) should remain in place for at least 14–21 days, until the concrete reaches 70–80% of its design strength.
