Hi,

I'm about to start on a hip to gable on a semi bungalow. Architect is drawing plans, and SE is doing calcs for steel for loft conversion changes.

There is a pretty good chance BC will want to asses the foundations, should be fine as couple of other houses on my street have done the same.

Question - the drive is tarmac and I'm not planning on replacing it. Any ideas on best approach for test pit ? I am drawing up plans for a very short extension to the rear on the kitchen which is going to extend along the same line as the hipped wall do I could break Tarmac there....

If by that you mean could you dig the trial pit just around the back corner, that should be OK as the original foundation will in all probability be the same size/depth all round the house.
