I hope it helps you!
What is a geotechnical study?
It is a study to know the content of the terrain.
Samples of the terrain are taken at different points in order to understand where the solid materials are found where we can hold our building.
What is it for?
To calculate:
- structure
- foundations and
- earthworks
of any construction.
Is it mandatory for building a house?
If you want to get a construction permit to build your house: YES, it is mandatory.
In addition, it helps some architects with the design phase. Well, at least for those architects that have a full compromise with doing something logical with the client’s need and the terrain type.
What’s the price?
In our Architecture studio, we are offering the geotechnical survey in Catalonia during 2025 for € 795 + IVA tax under these conditions:
- future building of 3 floors or less and less than 299m2
- flat piece of land T1, with easy access, clear of vegetation and 1m wide access everywhere with no steps
- plot without existing buildings
- in Catalonia
My professional recommendation:
Before starting with the design phase of your future house, ask for the geotechnical survey and give it to your architect.
Then, the design of your house or building will be consistent with your pre-existing conditions. This can avoid you extracosts of digging in a rocky terrain which can increase your budget by up to 20%.
You may also do a topographic survey or geobiological survey.

Best of luck on this adventure.
