GBA has updated its number-one, all-time most-popular resource – Important Information about This Geotechnical-Engineering Report. Some of the language has been modified (e.g., “This Report” instead of “Your Report”), at least one new term is used (“confirmation-dependent recommendations”), one section (about use of drilling logs) has been eliminated, and two sections – one about mold, the other about showing the report to bidders – have been modified substantially. Literally millions of copies of the previous versions are in print or virtual print. Only GBA-Member Firms have the right to use the document “as-is.” As-is use by nonmembers may be considered fraudulent in addition to being a violation of intellectual-property laws and GBA’s copyright. Member Firms get them for free and may use them without restriction for as long as they remain members. Nonmembers may order one to see what we suggest, but they may not copy or store the document, nor may they use its language. GBA encourages nonmembers to join so they, too, can use this important report insert. Get your copy now! 

Only GBA-Member Firms are permitted to use the document as an insert sheet. Others may use it as a model for development of their own advisory document.
