One of the most important items for construction is the soil. How we treat the soil before, during and after construction is important regarding the longevity of the structure or surrounding support systems, such as paving and the parking lot. Reading and understand the soils report is imperative as well as understanding what questions to ask and understand about the report and your soil conditions will determine the success of a project starting at the foundation.
