What is cut and fill?

Cut and fill is an earthworks technique where soil is removed (cut) from higher areas and placed (filled) in lower areas to create a level building platform. It's common on sloping sites and helps minimise external fill requirements.

Do I need a geotechnical report?

Yes. A geotechnical report is required for most construction projects to assess soil conditions, bearing capacity, and any site-specific risks like reactive soils, fill, or groundwater. This informs footing and slab design.
