hi Loombucket,
i agree with you that ideally it should be matched.
the footings i shown here is from a 4 storey house which if i use for the planned build would probably be overspec. so i think there is a large margin of safety.
the way the horizonal reinforcement for the columns are twisted at 135 degree are not something i have seen before.
construction photos of the best i have seen so far are those twisted at 90 degrees and then tied together with thin wire
so if the building does collapse, it would be due more likely to poor construction( contractor, labour crew) than to using the specs from the particular house
