This post is created for a relative. She badly wants to start constructing her house as her fund is depleting real quick. So, this is a one story house with a footing foundation provision for a two-story house. The materials breakdown, plan and approximate prices comes with it.
Since the fund is limited, she decided to put up one-story for the meantime. Soon enough, if fund becomes available, she will be renovating this to have its second floor.
If you inspect it, the footing depth is set deep enough to cater the loads of a two-story house. Tie beams were included as this house will be located on a sandy-soil. It helps in keeping the structure on its level and shape in case one footing gets displaced.

Again, since the fund is limited, there will be no partition for the meantime.
