Hello there.
I am planing to build standalone workshop 20x24 size. Soil has a lot of clay and water is high, plenty of movement at Winter/Spring season, so lots of issues around there. I was talking to several specialists, including geo-tech engineers and got quite confusing and oppositely directing recommendations. So far I am inclined on concrete pad on grade foundation.
Asking this community - from experience what someone may had in this situation - what are my option(s)?
Also, I am in Ottawa area - is there any recommendations for foundation contractor: not too expensive, not too big , willing to have small job.
Thanks
Gene.
P.S. I have workshop already on concrete posts with wooden floor on joists and its not holding my heavy machines (lathe, mill, surface grinder), but I've got what I payed for - flow is uneven and sinking . So I will take it down !!! and rebuild on better foundation/floor
