It’s currently being assessed by our building surveyor 4 23877 With that sort of soil type if you ask for a design to include piers then I would also include void formers. That way you should reduce the chances of settlement and heave. 7 24904 All 3 items listed are defects and are of concern. Please seek qualified independent inspector and/or legal advice for your state. 1 26511 |
