Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Nov 18, 2012 8:47 pm Hi all We are building in SA, can anyone recommend a good company/person who can do an independent soil testing/report (to see soil type etc) on our block of land and also what would be an approximate cost? Thanks Also, what would be approx costs of footings for an 800sq metre block which is relatively flat? assuming, worse case the soil is very reactive. Any input much appreciated It is true that a builder can ignore your independent inspection report as it is not part of the contractual arrangement but that is stupid because he cannot avoid fixing… 9 46870 4 6833 I am not sure whether Perth has its own way of doing things in regards to this. Most of Perth has class A (sandy soil), except for some areas near rivers or hills. 2 13104 |
