[quote=Anonymous]Currently in the process of buying a new construction home. We've already signed the contract and paid a deposit. The builder casually mentioned that, in the process of digging our foundation, they realized the soil was very soft and need an engineer to test it to see whether the land can support a house. This is obviously very concerning for me, and I'd like to hire my own engineer to test the land. I've realized that a lot of the third parties in this process (title attorney, mortgage lenders, title insurance company, etc.) are affiliated with the builder and I'd like an independent opinion of the safety in building a house on our lot. I've done some quick googling but the only things I'm finding are massive corporations that test the ground for large, commercial/government projects. Can anyone recommend a company that would test the soil for .5-1 acre lot in a subdivision and their approx cost? We're in MD (PG county) if that matters. [/quote]
