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 has been recommended for the structure so as to allow adequate
             performance of the footings under the soil conditions determined at the site.

             This report relates exclusively to the proposed pool at subject allotment, as detailed on
             the architectural drawings supplied by the client. This document has been prepared for
             the express purpose stated above. This document does not cover any other elements
             related to construction on the site.


2.           SITE DESCRIPTION

             The subject allotment is a residential lot fronting a sealed road, there is an existing
             residence at the site and the proposed pool is to be located towards the rear. The
             proposed site has average grass cover with dense undergrowth and many shrubs and
             small trees present, the site falls towards the rear of the block at an approximate slope
             of 15%.


3.           SOIL PROFILE

             The borelogs carried out at the site, refer attached Site Plan for localities, indicate that
             the soil profile consists of clayey sand (high organic content - peat) overlying silty sand.
             A WATERTABLE was encountered at the time of testing at a depth of 900mm.


             Whilst every effort has been made to ensure that the borelogs carried out at the subject
             allotment are indicative of the soil profile over the site any discrepancy between the
             profile detailed in the borelogs and that observed during construction shall be referred
             to the Consulting engineer for immediate attention.


4.           MATERIALS LABORATORY TEST RESULTS

             Determination of the classification for the site in this situation is based upon test results
             from Dynamic Cone Penetrometer testing performed over the site and shrink/swell test
             results.
