Can I request a copy of my soil report if my builder commissioned it?

Yes — even if your builder commissioned and paid for it as part of your build contract, it’s genuinely your property’s report, and you’re entitled to a copy for your own records.

It’s worth requesting this early and keeping it filed, since a soil report is genuinely useful reference material for any future renovation, extension, or if you ever need to explain your foundation design to a new engineer.
