Does soil removal happen before or after the soil report is finalised?

The soil report genuinely comes first — it’s based on boreholes taken from your site’s current, undisturbed condition, so it needs to happen before any bulk soil removal changes that.

Once the report and foundation design are finalised, soil removal proceeds as part of the excavation and site preparation stage, informed by what the report identified rather than guessed ahead of it.
