	*Review - ''In my experience, when a soil test is required you will have to have an engineer provide a certified analysis—they provide insurance mostly. Outside of that, if you are not pouring a slab you won’t have that test either. Mostly when you are building, the idea is that unless there is clear evidence of poor soils, they allow you to build because you are taking the risk. That pentameter is worthless if you are using screw anchors to like 4 ft.''		*Review by DS - ''In my experience, when a soil test is required you will have to have an engineer provide a certified analysis—they provide insurance mostly.

	*Pier shaft can vary - more load capacity. Hollow pier profiles can stand more lateral loads per weight of steel pier.		*Pier shaft can vary - more load capacity. Hollow pier profiles can stand more lateral loads per weight of steel pier.

			=Logic=
			When examining soil load bearing strength - is a [[Soil Penetrometer]] like this sufficient to get a good idea for the Building Package or engineering stamp? Who checks the soil bearing value in the process? I am assuming that if you select the minimum presumptive value (1500 psf), then they accept this value without contest?
