Regulations

Good to know before you ask

Building codes adopted by many states and cities, such as the International Residential Code, allow the building official to require soil tests where expansive, compressible or otherwise questionable soils are likely. Ask your local building department whether a soils report is required for your project.

We do not perform investigations ourselves and do not show prices: the cost depends on the site, the project and the firm. Ask the professionals who contact you for a detailed written quote.
