Soil testing is the process of taking a sample of soil from your property and testing it in a laboratory to determine the physical and chemical properties of the soil. Like other types of Geotechnical Investigations, soil testing is a fairly technical process.
Generally, a soil test will tell you whether there is too much acid in the soil, chemicals, or other irregularities in the soil composition, among other things. It is designed to make sure everything is in order and safe for things to proceed to the next stage of the project.
Our soil tests come with a comprehensive report that explains everything in plain English for you, alongside the information that the relevant authorities require. This way you can be sure you're getting the services you need and can have complete clarity throughout the process.
If you're planning on undertaking any type of building work or you're buying/selling a property, it's essential that you get a soil test done first. In fact, it's a legal requirement in most Australian states. This is true whether you're planning to build a new home, an extension, or even just laying a new driveway. Soil testing is vital to ensure the safety and stability of any structure built on your property.
