Your analysis is absolutely correct! Virtually no structure yet within the area but bush. However, 2 structures at the vicinity is about 70 feet away. One is Burgalow and uncompleted story building with raft foundation (although yet to receive load)

On the contrary, my client appreciate our professional input and ready to go for it. Unfortunately, he has a tight and limited budget. As it stand, we are at the edge of sacrifice our profit to make this foundation done properly. .......it may sound unreasonable to you!

prince0011: Please segcymoor, can you let me know which company you used for your soil test. Again, why would you want to strain yourself since your client can't afford the pile foundation? Why not just wait on your client until such as time he/she can afford it.....

we need their permission to place their company on air. If you don't mind do send to us to get it

Aventures: OP, who did the structural design in the first place, i guess the guy did not visit the site nor carry out any soil test investigation before doing the design, and that is why all this hassles at construction stage. I appreciate your technical input in ensuring safety of the life of future occupant and your client investment. The truth of the matter is that if you have gone ahead to execute what you have in the design, in case of any eventuality you will be absolutely exonerated.

Lesson No 1: Clients please engage certified professionals for your designs and never refuse their proposal to carry out all necessary investigation in order to come up with a reasonable design. (some clients are mostly the cause of design defects, always believing that there is no big deal at design stage). Failure to get the design right will lead to wrong budgeting.

Lesson No 2: Contractors, learn from segcy more do not be greedy investigate your site very well before commencing Job.

All of us let's do it right.

Chekitaut: This trend is becoming very interesting...much of technicality that meet practicality, Imagine this project is going to be the first Pile foundation done on NLd... Segcy you have done it several times this will not be exception, Success is sure, God will grant you fulfilled mercy and strength. By now moderator this page deserve a front page and Op should change the topics First Terrace building with Pile Foundation. Most enlighten.
