SturctalBIMGuy is right, we should offer solutions and help on these blogs not just pick holes through other peoples work. It was just that the report posted here was so full of holes its hard to let it go through to the keeper. If your not happy with your report it's probably better to get a second opinion from another soil testing company who will visit your site, sample the soil and give considered report which I cannot.My opinion won't replace a full soil investigation from another company of course. Re: Signed contracts expecting a raft slab, now I'm being to 16Apr 18, 2017 3:04 pm Hi everyone, I'm sorry to have disappeared without answers, tapatalk kindly was hiding all your replies until it decided to play nicely. I had actually wondered about a few of the things you mentioned in the soil report insider, especially the things like the removal of trees inconsistencies. To be perfectly honest though I have reached a point where I am running out of fight, and as I know the slab is going to the engineer I am hoping they can read through the mistakes to where it makes sense and design appropriately, or talk to the soil tester to get it cleared up. That sounds really terrible on my behalf as I write it out but I really am done with all of this. The land titled over a year ago and I still don't have a slab let alone a house and I've had enough. BIM, I'll send you a PM with the site costs I was given. Regarding progress, I've been told the engineer has done everything and we are good to go, just waiting on QBE who are taking longer than usual (just like literally every other thing on this damn build) to do the insurance so we can actually begin. As an aside, does an "updated P and L" mean anything to anyone? Cheers all, I really appreciate everyone's help and insight. My garage door has started playing up recently.
