The foundation phase is critical as it establishes the building's stability and load-bearing capacity by transferring structural loads to the ground. Properly designed foundations prevent settlement and structural failures, ensuring the longevity and safety of the entire building. It involves excavation, placement of footings, and reinforcement to support the weight of the structure above and resist soil pressures.
