A Geotechnical (Soil) Report is usually required for various structures, including main residences, guest houses, additions, or detached accessory buildings. This report ensures the ground is suitable and safe for construction. Under the Geotechnical (Soil) Report category, you may submit the following types of documents:
- Soil Report
- Alquist-Priolo or Liquefaction Review (addresses earthquake or soil movement risks)
- Compaction Report Review (confirms the soil has been properly compacted for construction)
- Hydro-Collapsible Soil Report (evaluates soil that might collapse when wet).
Please include the appropriate document(s) that match your project’s requirements.
