## Abstract
When designing pile foundations, it is normal practice to perform a site investigation in order to quantify the physical and engineering properties of the ground. Often, the scope of the site investigation is dictated by construction time lines and budgetary constraints, rather than on the variability of the ground. It has been shown by a number of authors that as little as 0.04% – 0.3% of the total construction budget is spent on geotechnical investigations. Limited site investigations have the potential to impact significantly on the success or otherwise of the completed project. These include cost over-runs, construction delays, foundation failure and over-design. It has been suggested that “You pay for a site investigation whether you have one or not.”
