This paper deals with the problem of constructing new buildings in old urban areas, with emphasis on determining the actual dimensions of the active footprint of existing foundations. The study focuses on the problems associated with limited space for construction, geotechnical conditions, soil characteristics, as well as the features of near-surface foundations and methods for calculating their settlement. The paper proposes a methodology that, when applied, provides a more accurate and reliable determination of non-uniformity of base deformations of neighboring foundations. This is achieved by taking into account a number of factors, such as the sequence of erection, soil compaction, the size of the footings and the magnitude of loads. The proposed approach also substantiates the optimal spacing of the designed neighboring foundations, helping to reduce the negative impact on existing structures and ensuring the stability and durability of both new and existing structures. The results of this study represent a significant contribution to the development of effective construction solutions in limited urban spaces, and can be used by designers and builders to optimize construction processes and ensure the stability of buildings in complex geotechnical conditions.
