[QUOTE="Redmule454, post: 3888336, member: 7396"] For a foundation, I would recommend shale. Then have a vibratory sheep foot to roll and pack it. Do it is lifts (layers) of 6-9 inches. Pack each lift with the sheep foot. My shop is on a slope and I had about 6' of shale brought in and packed down. I later went to install the sewer and water lines and had to rent a trencher to cut the trenches. The foundation is rock hard, you have to use a pick to dig. Get lots of quotes, I had estimates from 10k to 50k. It cost me 12k for a 80x80 pad for a 70x75 steel building. [/QUOTE]
