Green Light for Soil Tests

We have been given the green light by the developer to have soil tests performed on our block. The primary purpose of this is to determine the reactivity of the soil – the extent to which it will expand when wet. The degree of soil reactivity in turn determines what type of slab is required for our house. Porter Davis who are building a number of dwellings at Solsbury Field advised us that they assumed an H Class slab when pricing their house and land packages.





Once the soil tests are performed and we know the type of foundations required we will be able to get a fixed price contract from the builder.
