Soil pressure and bedding modulus

Good evening,

hmm....

I did not respond to your private message because I am neither a geologist nor a structural engineer, nor do I even remotely know which house you want to build on which material and in which location; but I also really had no time. All of this belongs to a serious cost calculation; estimates will not help you.

You should have looked into the foundation recommendation in the soil report or - if you cannot read/understand it - called the geologist.

I signed the construction contract today......and the seller could not tell me anything about the geotechnical report. I was told to wait until the construction management/structural engineer looks at it...
I have a bad feeling

Then you should not have signed. Although in my opinion it doesn't matter; if the building plot already belongs to you, the additional foundation costs will come to you one way or another.

Rhenish regards

Had everything checked by a building surveyor. From the offer to the construction service description to the contract review that a lawyer did. Had not received any negative reports about soil problems until then. I myself came across these values and thought that there were discrepancies between the calculation basis and the geologist’s values. Will contact my geologist again tomorrow. Thanks Bauexpert and thanks Sarius for the answers
