Soil assessment report - How should the report be evaluated?

Firstly, if the BU says it's possible, then it is. 10 thousand is money, but still bearable. You'll just have to save a bit on the kitchen and the toilet. But. The soil is also problematic otherwise. You have to drain well, this soil is almost non-permeable. The construction vehicles will compact it even more. So, a ring drainage around the house is a must. I wouldn’t build with a basement since waterlogging is to be expected. Better without and with this skirt. The house should be situated somewhat higher than the land so that no water enters from the terrace during heavy rain. Carsten

If all the topsoil is removed and a sand-gravel bed is constructed on it, can I assume that my house will have adequate support?

The topsoil has to be removed anyway, you cannot build on it. But if it is not contaminated, it can be disposed of again. The layers beneath are more interesting. I don’t want to evaluate them, but it is noticeable that the two drillings have produced quite different results.

But yes, of course you will be able to build there. It’s just about the cost of the earthworks. You do a soil survey for your specific project, which includes a foundation recommendation. The structural engineer and architect use this for further planning. The professionals involved are liable for the solution.
