Answer:
A standard soil test (geotechnical report) typically costs from $900, which may increase depending on your property location and access conditions.

This report is essential for:

• Determining the soil classification (e.g. Class M, H1)
• Designing the correct footing and subfloor system
• Ensuring compliance with NCC structural standards
• Supporting engineering documentation for certification

Factors that affect cost:

• Site location (regional or remote areas may increase cost)
• Slope or obstruction (e.g. tree roots, retaining walls)
• Need for additional boreholes or deep sampling

Expandify will recommend a trusted provider and arrange the soil test on your behalf after the Prelim stage.
