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.
