−	As part of the initial preparatory works, the site will generally need to be cleared and the topsoil taken up from the footprint of the structure. The depth will depend on the lay of the land, and if it is a sloping site then the ground may need to be ~~leveled~~. If required, retaining walls may be constructed in order to create level development platforms.	+	As part of the initial preparatory works, the site will generally need to be cleared and the topsoil taken up from the footprint of the structure.

−	Very broadly, foundations can be categorised as shallow foundations or deep foundations. Shallow foundations are typically used where the loads imposed by a structure are low relative to the bearing capacity of the surface soils. Deep foundations are necessary where the bearing capacity of the surface soils is not adequate to support the loads imposed by a structure and so those loads need to be transferred to deeper layers with higher bearing capacity.	+	Very broadly, foundations can be categorised as shallow foundations or deep foundations.
