Among people who have not built architectural projects previously there are multiple (FAQ) frequently asked questions that come up on almost every new building project.  One of these is why clients need a soils report.  Often a property buyer will look at two properties and be unable to determine why one is less costly than the other.  Human nature is to buy the least costly.  However, due to soil conditions the lot with the least purchase price could, in the end, cost much more to purchase and build upon.

In Nevada, soils conditions can vary greatly even on two lots across the street from each other.  Building regulations involving design for earthquake conditions can cause foundation and structural costs to greatly increase due to soils.  Dependent upon what internal remodeling you are constructing you may need a soils report even if you are not constructing a building.  Even though Las Vegas is technically in the desert, subsurface water is occasionally found just below the surface.  All of these things will make it typically necessary to obtain a soils test and report prior to buying property or designing the structure of a building.

People who want to construct architectural projects often arrive without a soils report.  This video is a follow up to the other videos in this series which explain many considerations in purchasing one.  In answer to this frequently asked question Ken Small Architect made this video about a process that can help you to determine if you should order one.
