How close can you excavate to building foundations?
It isn't as critical as to how close you excavate to building foundations. You want to be more careful not to excavate below a building's foundation. As a geotechnical engineer, we recommend that excavations for additions or appertenant structures not be extended within a 2 horizontal to 1 vertical oversize area extending down and away from the outside edge of the existing building's foundation. Hopefully this helps.

Foundations and slabs-on-ground should be placed on good, compacted soil, or other acceptable aggregates. A solid slab should be a minimum 100mm thick.
