The soil report review checklist contains 65 elements to check if a soil report submission is complete and accurate. It includes checking that design details and scope of investigation are provided, the investigation and testing was properly conducted, ground conditions and properties are accurately characterized, potential geotechnical hazards are identified, appropriate design parameters and foundation recommendations are given, and necessary appendices are included. The checklist also includes details to record the consultant and laboratory involved.
