 JOB NUMBER          20/1374    SITE CLASSIFICATION REPORT
 CLIENT              SARAH AND DOUG PEARSON.
 SITE                PROPOSED RESIDENCE.

   1. INTRODUCTION
      The purpose of this report is to classify the subject allotment in accordance with Australian
      Standard 2870 - 2011 'Residential Slabs and Footings'. From this classification, a footing
      system can be recommended for the structure so as to allow adequate performance of the
      footings under the soil conditions determined at the site.
      Trees: There are many large sized trees on and adjacent to the proposed site. Global
      Testing recommends an experienced arborist be commissioned to quantify the existing
      size, location, predicted maximum height and type of these trees to aid in the design
      process. It is the responsibility of the designing engineer to apply the principals of
      AS2870-2011 Appendix H "Guide to Design of Footings for Trees". The classification
      herein excludes the effect of trees on the site.
