Hello house building friends,
my civil engineer is now starting the groundworks (gravel slab for the house and garage). Since he is making the gravel slab right up to the boundary, I fear it will be tight with the power line to the front and back garden. Furthermore, I am planning an irrigation system and the water hoses need to be distributed accordingly. Does it make sense to have the civil engineer lay empty conduits directly in which I can later lay power underground cables and water hoses (PE) without having to dig again? I am referring to the areas where no topsoil will be placed, such as garage and driveway.
Do you have any tips on what I can still implement now?
The house is without a basement and the garage has strip foundations without a base slab.
Thank you.
