Due to the high estimates from builders we have started an extension to one of our childrens nurseries and dug the trench for the footings it is approx 12m x 6m single storey we asked the building inspector to have a look and he said the ground was soft clay and we were to dig deeper. We have dug down to 1.8m and the ground is still soft and it is getting wetter, what would anyone suggest that we do, any suggestions would be helpful. What does soft clay mean and what impact will this have on the buiding, do we just have to make the footing wider. What does soft clay mean and what effect willl this have on our extension, does it mean we have to cancel the project?
Any help or comments would be really appreciated
