Soil Testing is a key first step!
Torquay has a mix of soil types influenced by coastal processes, underlying geology, and climate.
Because of this, conducting a soil test (AS 2870) is essential to determine your site’s classification, which is crucial for designing the appropriate footings.
Based on the soil report’s findings, your engineer will recommend suitable footing and slab designs tailored to your site, ensuring a strong foundation and long-term stability for your project.
