"SHOE". What does "shoe" mean when used in a real estate ad?

[johne]

I have come across this term here in the DR and have a suspicion it mean "plans for construction"....but I'm not certain. Anybody?

 

[Jacquot]

Spelling error = show?

Never seen it(?). Context would help.

 

[william webster]

A guess.....
the foundation....the footprint

The small house in the back comes with a "shoe". I'm almost certain it means some kind of permit or plan. I have seen the term used more than once therefore I know is not an error,

I would also suggest “Show” just like many realtors and even construction companies sometimes write “Real State”.

I think you are right. “Shoe” is exactly like a dominican would pronounce it. Maybe the language expert from the forum could come with input.

I'm going to guess "shower"

Maybe ask a realtor?

Plus they kind of say it like that in “dominican”. They don’t pronounce the W.

What's a house with a "show'?

Showroom then if it was commercial property

 

[Gadfly]

Here they say a walk-in closet is a walking closet, so shoe could mean anything

A zapata is the start of a foundation as WW indicated.

That's when they dig the trench for the foundation and lay blocks for the outline of the structure but before they fill it in and lay rebar to pour cement. The block frame of the base of the house, so to speak.

I have heard people say it- when talking about construction

It's coming together now. I auto translated the listing( in Spanish )to English. Everything I read was in English including "zapato" translated to "shoe" as WE understand the word.Not the spanish construction term.
Thanks guys. Caso cerrado.

Google translate is not always accurate

 

[andyt]

google translate does not consider context. Spanishdict.com has a translator that give you more examples of what a word means,
