would appreciate a take on this problem where we are up to roof truss level.
For the footing depth the calculator shows 1.7. I have taken that measurement from the origonal site level before we stripped of 900mm of solid, and I mean solid clay.
There was always uncertainty as the deeper we took the foundation dig, because the tree is down the bottom of a slope, the nearer we would be getting to the tree routes.
In conversation with BC and LABC they verbally took a view that I could take the dig depth from the origonal level. They are now saying it should have been from the lower site strip level.
Anyone come across anything similar or who knows a bit about trees at the bottom of a slope
