Hi,
Brick foundations are important to get right,because levels have to be right etc.
If the job starts right,it carries on that way.
Take my advice and don't attempt this yourself, it will cost you dearly.Let a professional bricklayer carry this work out.

I'm not sure what you mean exactly but foundations are made based on the load placed on them and according to the ground condition I.e Strip foundation, Raft, Pile, Deep, wide foundation. These are pretty simple and easy to do and information regarding these foundation and when to use them are readily available on the Internet.

The foundation you require will depend on a number of different factors including the weight of the load and intended use of the structure.

You also need to look at the ground and what foundation would be most suitable
