Hello,
My site come with H1soil type with 600mm fill but there is no fill developer design and architect they suggest to put nearly 32piers, Is there any other way to slab inn as I already sign fixed site cost contract and its getting delay on my house and how much its cost and how deep I have to go if I did not put any piers.
Hi Ramandeep,
Guessing you've had a read of our article about building on reactive soil sites, and what they mean for different types of footings.
We'd love to give you a direct answer to this question, but it's impossible for us to do that. The only person who can answer what you're asking with authority is a qualified structural engineer - one who's had a good look through your house plans, and the details about your site.
What we can say is that it's very important to get your footings right - especially on reactive soil sites. If the developer and architect have recommended 32 piers, there's likely to be a good reason for that.
If you need a second opinion, you'll probably have to hire an independent structural engineer to look over your plans.
Hope this helps,
The BUILD team
