Hello everyone, can someone tell us something about our soil survey, whether the ground is okay and if a lot of earthworks are necessary?

Unfortunately, our civil engineer is on vacation, maybe someone here can help us.

Regards

Just so you know, here comes a layman's opinion and your redactions are pointless ;)

I think there are better conditions. The foundations need to be a bit deeper than the usual 80cm, the house also needs to be set higher because the groundwater is high and the soil stays waterlogged up to the property boundary during rainfalls. Water cannot seep away but must be completely drained from the property. The terrain needs to be shaped because the subsoil is uneven, partly soil has to be replaced. Topsoil is completely missing on the property, you will need to bring it in for planting, especially if the house is set higher. You can replace some of it with the excavation, but topsoil is needed afterwards. Or is it stored somewhere?

Sounds like additional costs. Let me know what Danwood wants to charge for that.

The topsoil has already been pushed aside by the excavation contractor and is still stored on the property.. I'll wait and see what the excavation contractor says next week... Thanks to you already. Earthworks and BP will be done by the local contractor and not by the DanWood sub :)

(Layman) I would dispose of the excavation generously. You don't want to use all that clay. Not for anything. Neither for backfilling the basement, nor for height compensation, and definitely not as topsoil anywhere. The stuff is, unfortunately, like the plague in the Middle Ages. Unwanted.

We had a lot of it too and we removed everything.

The important thing is the recommendation from the expert (2 variants) and everything you need to know about the foundation has already been said. To me, it also sounds like "expensive" but your civil engineer will tell you exactly that.
