Geotechnical Soil Investigation

This is the guarantee that your home's foundations will be designed to last. Without this study, you risk having foundations unsuitable for the soil, which can lead to cracks, subsidence of the house, or even its collapse. It's a key investment for the safety and longevity of your home.

In Sub-Saharan Africa, some soils are very particular: expansive clays (which absorb water and increase in volume) or lateritic soils (rocky on the surface but changing in depth) are common. Neglecting a soil study is a major cause of defects and significant cracks in homes.

• ⚠ The contractor says the soil study is 'useless' because 'we've always built like this here.'
• ⚠ Workers start digging foundations without any detailed plans or information about the soil type.
• ⚠ Your neighbor has significant cracks in their house, and you're offered to have the exact same foundations built for your home.

• 1. "Which specialized and accredited company will carry out the soil study?"
• 2. "Can I get a copy of the complete soil study report once it's finished?"
• 3. "How will the conclusions of this study concretely influence the type and depth of my house's foundations?"

Between 200,000 and 800,000 FCFA for an individual house, but this price varies greatly depending on the depth and number of soundings required.
