A geotechnical (soil classification) report in Queensland is a technical document that evaluates the soil and ground conditions of a property, typically before building or construction.



1. Hire a geotechnical engineer – a qualified professional or firm experienced in site investigations. 
2. Give the engineer your property address, lot and plan number, and any relevant site information. 
3. Conduct a site investigation – the engineer tests soil, groundwater, and site conditions. 
4. Receive the report – includes soil type, foundation recommendations, and site-specific risks for building approvals.
