Hello,
I now have the soil report for my planned new construction, which states:
"The planned foundation base of the new building should be located at a depth of at least 0.8m (i.e., frost-resistant foundation) below the existing ground surface. The conducted soil investigations indicate soft plastic clay soils at this depth, which are only moderately load-bearing. Due to the high groundwater level, we recommend constructing the foundation base of the new building within a replacement soil cushion." Soil class 3-4
The base edge is to be set at +0.4m above the existing street level.
Do I understand correctly that 80cm must be excavated and backfilled? The cubic meters can therefore be easily calculated by oneself. What kind of costs should be expected here? The soil expert only said in a "quick run-through" that 80cm is standard and otherwise everything is as it should be.
I would be very grateful for any experiences!
