ᐅ Assessment of Building Site – Does the Excavator Refer to Natural Topsoil?

Hello,

the groundwork for my house has begun. The excavator removed about half a meter (20 inches) of topsoil. After removing the topsoil, he concluded that the remaining soil is natural subsoil, which is very suitable for construction. Could you please share your assessment?

I would appreciate your feedback.

Best regards

The color looks like clay, so it should be suitable.

Thanks tomtom79 for your answer. Is clay soil considered load-bearing? Does it count as native soil?

With an appropriate foundation using sand and gravel, clay is suitable for building.

Have you had a soil survey conducted?

Hello

the civil engineering contractor will certainly be correct on that.
