All you are doing is creating a pool underneath your house.Water flows across the top of the natural clay then when you did a pit and then fill it with sand the water will pond in it leaving you with a water problem for the life of the house and you may get deep seated clay heave or shallow clay bearing capacity failure. The only option if you want to start construction soon is a properly constructed cut off drain and the agi drain they are suggesting won't work either. PM me your email. I have a build excavation calculator you can use based on your plans to double check what your builder is telling you. Cheers Simeon 1 10207 All sorted guys.
