Geotech Engineering
It is recommended to contract a Geotech Engineer to take a core sample at the location of the building foundations rather than making an assumption on the soil conditions, as it might just save you thousands of dollars!
It is advisable to insist on this testing before purchasing the land!
A Geotech Engineer will give you a soil report based on the testing to pass onto your Structural Engineer. The Structural Engineer will then design the footings / slab accordingly for these soil conditions
A ZEGO home built with 200 Series Forms weighs the same as a brick veneer home. Therefore, the slab is designed for the same loads and no articulation is required for H soil type upwards
