What costs should you roughly expect per cubic meter if the soil report comes back unfavorable?
Our soil has a high clay content, and we are concerned that we might need to carry out soil replacement.
Of course, you only know for sure after the soil report, but we want to have it done as soon as possible so it can be included in the financing if needed.
Such a report doesn’t expire, right? Especially since soil conditions usually don’t change.
Thank you.

But if the company doesn’t need it, they won’t want to see it. So it’s up to me how I react once I have it and properly understand it, right?
And what should I pay attention to?
Thanks to you all!

Then they build according to the standard... reinforcement and so on.
And if your house collapses, they will say: "Without a soil survey, we couldn't have known the risks." That is their loophole regarding the warranty.
Of course, THEY don’t need a survey, but YOU do. This applies throughout the entire house construction process.

Sorry if this sounds silly, but hopefully you only build once, so as a layperson you can’t always know everything.

You are the client, it is YOUR house, and YOU will live in it! Everything should be done in your best interest!
If any corners are cut, it’s up to you to initiate changes—even if that means getting personally involved. It is not in the builder’s interest, but in yours!
That’s how it is.
