Residential Engineering offers a comprehensive range of geotechnical testing and soil engineering services for residential projects. When planning your project, it’s crucial that ground conditions are suitable to build on. Land slope, fill, clay concerns and piling requirements all need to be investigated before construction can start. We are highly skilled in our field, with laboratory testing facilities to ensure accurate results. Our wide range of geotechnical services include soil testing, land capability assessments, ground slab depth testing, compaction testing, wind classifications and more. Our reports detail information relating to the site/soil condition, compaction information, BAL (if needed) and provides recommendations for footings and foundations.
With the use of our advanced testing facilities and our expert team, Residential Engineering delivers accurate results promptly. Our geotechnical engineering and testing services are customized to meet the specific needs of each project, ensuring that construction is carried out on solid and safe ground.
Our full range of geotechnical services include:
Knowing your area’s wind classification is crucial for every building project as it can influence your structure’s durability, construction cost, bracings, tie-down fixings & design, framing & trusses, cladding and windows. Wind Classification requirements are outlined in the Australian Standards (AS 4055-2012) to ensure the best outcome for engineers and builders.
Typically, a soil soil testing geotechnical report will remain valid unless there is a change to the site’s conditions, these changes could include:
It should also be noted that old soil tests may not be in accordance with current standards or current soil testing procedures, which means it may not be as accurate as necessary.
Any structure that requires a building permit will need a soil test. E.g. sheds larger than 10m², this is because these structures will require building permits that need the relevant engineering documents in order for the permit to be approved, one of these documents is a valid soil test.
All our designs are carefully crafted for the best outcomes for each project and meet every client’s unique wants and needs.
Residential Engineering has helped clients design and break ground on their homes for over 40 years, providing a complete range of professional engineering services for residential projects of all sizes.
