Hi
This is a wonderful forum have learnt alot from reading. Today I decided to post one of our challenges in hope that someone out there could give us some sound advice. And help us with this uneasy situation.
We are building a home which is zero boundary on one side. On this side the neighbour wants to level his block but in order to do this, he must cut roughly "one" meter into the block right up against our boundary/garage wall.
I am worried if this will impact our foundation. They have assured me that they will be putting in retaining wall straight away.
Can anyone give me advice on this situation. What do I need to be aware of? What questions should I be asking? Do they own the wall therefore the wall should be payed by them?
Is it unsafe to build a retaining wall against 0 boundary garage wall? Should a specialist be involved with the construction of the wall.
much apprecation for any suggestions.
