What kind of soil is present here? The pictures are not very clear. If a cohesive soil is present, I would not build strip foundations. What does the [soil report] say?
In many cases nowadays, reinforced foundation slabs are installed during house construction, even if it costs more. This is also because they are easier to execute. Excavating the pits for strip foundations is labor-intensive and was more common in the past.
By the way, strip foundations should be twice as wide as the wall that will be built on them later. Is that the case here? It is not clearly visible.
