    You don't need a percolation test...you need a Site Suitability Assessment Report.

    ok, but I would think they're the same. If the ground doesn't perc then it's not suitABLE

    Thats about €360 excl VAT. Take away the digger cost and its hard to believe that you would get a site suitability assessment carried out correctly for that.

    Well i did, both digger driver and assessor live within a mile or two of the site. I knew neither prior to this. He does them all the time for council and they never queried his report. Happy to Pm his contact details. He does Wicklow, Carlow and Kildare I believe.
