Re: Class of Build Sites 11Jun 03, 2014 7:32 am bpratt Brooke_n_Ron Hi, I just received my soil test results and its really confusing, they came up as "P: Due to presence of fill" then underneath " reactivity S classification" - then they went on to say that the presence of fill was app 300mm deep. Does that mean I should be concerned we have P soil....? Or not too worried because the footings will be in the S soil? The way I'd read that is somewhat similar to yourself. The reactivity of the soil is S, and the only concern they have is the amount of fill that could be Problematic, i.e. P. The person who organises the slab has it engineered based upon the S soil taking in to account the depth of the fill. On our sloping block our soil test came back with P representitive of H1. The P came about because of the trees in the area of where we wanted to have the house built, and that it could have been problematic if the roots weren't removed, as in they'd rot away eventually creating a subsistane of the soil under the slab. Our site prep including the excavations, the shredding of the trees, and the gravel driveway cost us around $19,000 ... I guess it would've cost me a hell of a lot more if I wasn't a owner builder, and had it done by a cookie cutter building company. The concern with the tree removal is the rebound from the clay as it re-hydrates and causes the clay to swell generally the engineers are not to concerned with the roots rotting unless it is a mass of roots or organic layer because the slabs can span distances under your slab e.g. think about the plumbing trenches under you slab Hi, We are looking for a builder that can build a small home (smaller length) on a sloping site. We came across Mojo's Zephyr design 10.6 m wide and 11.5 m length. Does… 0 23014 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 13082 I don’t think so as the floor area over 300 square meters then it is class 3…. 12 17934 |
