Stable / Sandy

Stable / Sandy — Illustrative diagram

Stable / Sandy is a building-planning choice included in the Price Your Build estimator. It can affect foundation design, excavation method and drainage strategy.

What this option means

Routes to normal stable sand/soil structural strip footing sizes.

Why it affects the estimate

The estimator uses this selection to apply an appropriate allowance. Actual requirements depend on the final design, site conditions, supplier selection and contractor scope.

Before proceeding

  • Do not substitute this selection for a geotechnical investigation or structural engineer’s foundation design.
  • Compare the final specification and inclusions against quotations before appointing a contractor.
