For a foundation for a building, it is necessary to excavate at least below the soil zone, and further, sufficiently to enable a strong enough concrete foundation to support the intended building.

Commonly, the base of the trench (the footing) will be a few times wider than the actual width of the foundation wall, so as to provide sufficient load bearing for the building.
