Why Soil Testing Matters for Your Home
Australian soils vary dramatically - from reactive clays that swell and shrink with moisture to stable sandy soils. Understanding your soil type determines your foundation design, construction method, and ultimately your home's long-term stability.
Site Classification (AS2870)
We classify your site according to Australian Standard AS2870, from Class A (stable rock/sand) to Class H (highly reactive clay). This classification determines your foundation requirements and helps builders design the right solution for your specific conditions.
Building Permit Requirements
All new residential construction in Australia requires professional soil testing and site classification. Our reports meet council requirements and provide the documentation needed for your building permit application.
