Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Independent Soil Tests 5Jan 25, 2009 10:14 pm Haywire Wanna Hi, our contract clearly stated that we would get all monies returned paid as deposit if the site did not meet our conditions of contract. Word of warning though - check elevations too as borg suggested. We had an M class block that was still going to cost in excess of $50k in site costs due to fall and retaining walls etc. Best of luck Thanks! How do I protect myself on this?
