The setting
A brief requiring a piled foundation where a raft may be feasible.
Your task
Write proposing a ground investigation scope that would allow the cheaper option to be considered.
What a useful response would show
Proposing to buy information as a way of saving material.

- Could another engineer follow your recommendation?
