Architecture Tip
In case you're planning to build a new house, my advice to you is do get a soil test done. Any two places, the soil quality is not the same. And the structural engineer who decides that your foundation depth will be, your foundation or structure may look at how much it will depend on your soil's bearing capacity. If he doesn't have those parameters, then he'll always want to design on the safer side. As a result, your structure is a little bit more expensive.
