Before purchasing a property for development, or if there are questions about the history or stability of the land, it’s essential that the ground is determined to be suitable and risk-free for your intended use.
Before investing hundreds of thousands, or millions, of dollars into a property, you should be sure that the land itself is free of latent defects, subsidence and slope stability are not issues, and any intended construction project is feasible at the geotechnical level.
The only way to obtain this critical information is via a geotechnical investigation. When it precedes a property purchase, this kind of investigation falls into the category of legal due diligence.
Soil Eng can provide a comprehensive assessment of all geotechnical aspects of a property as a part of your property due diligence process. This valuable information can confirm project feasibilities, inform project costings, and warn of severe weather event or earthquake repercussions.

Soil Eng provides comprehensive and efficient services across the full breadth of geotechnical engineering, including investigation, analysis, design, and reporting.
A geotechnical due diligence investigation assesses the ground-related risks and development potential of a site before you buy or commit, flagging hazards, likely foundation requirements and cost implications early.
Ground conditions can make or break a project’s feasibility and budget. Due diligence reveals issues such as instability, liquefaction or soft soils before purchase, so you can negotiate, plan or walk away with confidence.
It typically combines a desk study with a site appraisal and, where needed, targeted investigation. To summarise geotechnical constraints, development feasibility and the likely scope and cost of foundations and site works.
Because it often starts as a desk-based appraisal, an initial assessment can usually be turned around quickly to fit purchase timeframes. Note that additional fees may apply for due diligence work. Soil Eng will confirm scope and cost up front.
We value our client relationships and work diligently to achieve the best outcomes for projects and properties.
