FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) for CDS ARE Exam:
Where are the five feet measured exactly for the CDS NCARB sample vignette, from grade to bottom or top of footing? (It's more logic to the top)
Response: This issue has been solved and proved by many candidates. It is measured from the finish grade (NOT finish floor) to the bottom of the footing (This is the MINIMUM requirement). This is the ideal solution. However, if you draw it to the top of the footing or anything between the top and the bottom of the footing, you will also pass.
Should the top of foundation align with top of slab? It's not drawn this way in NCARB?
Response: Either way is OK as long as you maintain 5'-0" between the finish grade (NOT finish floor) and the bottom of the footing.
