Do a soil test and from there a structural engineer would help you to design a suitable foundation.

What an architect does is the building design so to say, the structural member is designed by a structural engineer.

Well done bro. My site has sharp sand and the water underneath the sand is close to the surface during raining season. In fact, Wells in the area are not deeper that 8ft. How can I go about the foundation on that type of soil?

Hello,

Very good and neat job done.

Seeing that you loosed the boards and moved them to cover the raft in stages, how many hours/days in sufficient to wait before removing the formwork and moving to next point?

Thanks
