I'm looking at some land that is classed as having minor dispersive soil.
Does anyone know the implications regarding construction methods when building near/on such soils?
thanks

Just work out where you think the best spot for a house would be and get that part tested unless they can do a broader test for not much more. The same guy should also be able to advise you on what would be required regarding your house design structurally if you already have a certain design type in mind.

Why not make your own driveway and gate? Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ |
