Hello everyone,
I am the new guy. My name is Tobias, I am 30 years old and professionally an electronics technician.
That’s a bit about me.
Now for the first question.
As it turned out, the soil on the property is quite bad, i.e. groundwater at about 1m depth and firm soil only at 2.2m.
The architect said that it would be best to put a strip foundation under all load-bearing walls. So at those spots, dig down to 2m and fill with concrete and steel.
Now I have a few questions about that.
1. Has anyone already had experience with such poor soil and possibly with a high groundwater level and could give me tips?
2. Does the rest of the soil inside the strip foundation still need to be excavated down to 2m and filled with gravel? Or would, for example, 0.5-1m be enough here?
3. Is it possible to roughly calculate the cost per m^3 for such a job?
Thanks for your help.
