Footings and stem walls can be poured simultaneously using specialized monolithic pouring techniques and adjustable concrete forms, though they are frequently poured in two separate stages. Pouring them together creates a seamless, highly rigid joint, but it requires precise formwork alignment and careful concrete vibration to prevent honeycombing, whereas two-stage pours allow the footing to cure and harden first before erecting wall forms on top.
