A soil test shows how strong and reactive your ground is, so engineers can design safe, cost-effective footings. It helps prevent foundation issues and is required by councils for most new builds and extensions.

The number of boreholes depends on your site size, soil variability, and council/engineering requirements. Our aim is to gather enough data to classify your soil accurately and provide reliable footing recommendations. This prevents costly surprises during excavation and keeps your project compliant.

If we intersect rock, deep fill, or variable soils, we adjust the investigation to get the information needed for an accurate classification. We’ll explain any changes and confirm costs before proceeding.
