Hello everyone,

We have a geotechnical report for a potential building plot. Since I am not a geologist, I find it somewhat difficult to interpret the information. Are there experienced people here who can draw conclusions for construction from such a report? As a layperson, who would you usually discuss such a report with before purchasing a plot?

In particular, the report contains information about foundations and infiltration that reads quite negative to me as a non-expert.

a) Infiltration: Due to poor soil permeability, it is recommended to provide overflow installations for heavy rain events.

b) Foundations: Clay layers with weak geotechnical properties:

Thanks and regards

So I assume this matter is settled.
And now: how does this affect you? Should we just keep our fingers crossed that the other potential buyer backs out, or that you find something better soon?
